I've been remiss/amiss! It's hard to know beforehand which days I'll be feeling like a lump of condensed sleeping powder and thereby incapable of doing anything other than nap the hours away ^_^;
And in between the downtime I've been working on producing some more necklaces/etc. Since it so happens that there's a sketchbook in my possession I've even tried my hand at sketching out ideas before flinging around the actual beads. So far only one's come out exactly like the original idea xD The others either evolved or inspired me to something entirely different.
It's a bummer when an idea of mine can't make the transition from paper to bead but I think of it as a learning process instead of getting depressed about it. And something will always come out of it in the end. Sometimes it'll be better >.>
I'm really enjoying having a [continuing] hobby for the first time in my life, in case you hadn't noticed already :P
Now there's just the task of obliging with the wishes of my elder sisters on pimping them for sale, lol. Elder sister Angela has been spreading the word about me to her friends and insists that I send her some pictures since she is thinking of starting a web shop where she and a friend of hers will sell t-shirts with their unique design prints. Eldest sister Eleine is bordering on demanding that I start my own business ^_^;;;
The idea of starting an actual business feels a bit far fetched to my small brain, not to mention it'd need careful consideration + investigation, but it'd be cool to test the field with what I've done so far to see if there's even a market for my designs. That is, if Angela does get around to give me the "all systems go!" on that web shop of hers, heh.
For the moment it's just a matter of keeping my momentum and beading away :D
Oh, one more thing. The following is a recent conversation between my dad and I while we were driving home from the store:
Dad: So, how much would you say you've spent on beading material?
Me: Well, I'm sure I could make an estimate *pauses* Do you want to know how much I've set aside in my savings account, though?
Dad: Sure.
Me: Roughly $2,350 ^_____^
Dad: ............ O___________O!!!!
High five, anyone? :D
