Cut to spare your reading page: ( my answers to the last five questions are under here )
Wow, that was fun - and harder than I expected!

It's a beautiful day - one of those perfect-weather days we get in the middle of Spring. Bright sun, cool dry air, new greenery, birds singing.
My brain is going in a million directions and I can't seem to concentrate on stringing together a coherent post, even though there are things I want to say. So I am going to give up on words for now and go play with beads. Before I do, here is my favorite view, in May of 2008 and 2009. It looks just as lovely today, but I haven't got round to taking a picture yet. *g*

Here's the story of how I made this necklace out of bits and bobs from my bead stash, in the process putting to use beads I've been hoarding for as long as fifteen years.
(click to enlarge)
If you bead - or sew or knit or weave or spin - in fact, if you practice any art or craft, you almost certainly have a stash. It's part of the fun of making things, this building of a collection of wonderful materials. In fact, adding stuff to your stash can sort of take over and you find yourself with So. Much. Stuff. that you start thinking about reforming your ways. But, if you're like me, your inner magpie – that part of you that loves shiny things – keeps right on bringing more loot home. So, now and then, I focus on projects that use only beads from my stash – no fair buying anything new.
( Here are the beads I used for just such a project )

I so fail at doing this daily question on a, well, daily basis! Here are all the ones I've missed since whenever it was I posted last, including today's which is about my default icon.

Got up so early to watch the wedding that now I'm all discombobulated - it feels like it should be way later than noon!
Today's post is brought to you by that 21 days for Dreamwidth meme. I skipped yesterday in order to post the next two together; they make a more rounded picture that way. Here they are, ( two for one. )

Seen all over the crafting blogosphere:
From their website: "The Global Genes Project (GGP) volunteer team is collecting blue jean/denim inspired bracelets for families living with rare disease, the campaign is called “7,000 Bracelets for Hope.” … These bracelets will then be distributed to participating families in December 2011." Click on the image above to go to the GGP website for more info.
( So, I made a bracelet )
And also, today’s question in the 21 Days of Dreamwidth meme. (note: there are multiple versions of this meme floating around, so I’ve taken some questions from this one and some from that.)3. Do you use other blogging sites? Why or why not? And do you cross-post?( Read more... )

It's 3W4DW time again! Twenty-one days in which to celebrate this shiny place where we hang out. There are tons of things going on, pretty much everywhere. A good place to start is ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
three_weeks_for_dw , where you can find lots of links to memes and 'thons and generalized enthusiasm. Also, posts tagged with three weeks for dreamwidth (or threeweeks) will show up in this feed: http://www.dreamwidth.org/latest?feed=threeweeks
Two ways I plan to take part are 1) to post more, and 2) to do the 21 Days of Dreamwidth meme I've seen here and there. So, on to the meme, days 1 *AND* 2, since I missed yesterday. ( 21 Days of Dreamwidth )
