Well.
I didn't want to cross stitch or knit.
I knew I wanted to do some sort of crafting, but because of a few stressors (I'm not going into them here, but I'll have most of them sorted by the end of June), I just couldn't mentally "sit still" to look into which type.
Yesterday, I just sat around and let my mind wander for a while. I didn't expect to get very far, but for the time I did, it was really nice. I then surfed a tiny bit on the TV and watched a cooking program. I saw a pretty pearl bracelet and *ping*. . .
There was a project I wanted to do.
I had a stash of rice pearls and beads in a baggie with some beading thread that had been stewing for a few years - and I had fine beading needles nearby.
So I found the baggie, found the needle, threaded it (a lovely concentrated job that I was very glad I could still do) picked out most of the pearls and started weaving a square stitch bracelet.
I think (not sure) I'm just going to keep weaving rows until I run out of pearls. I've got 5 rows done and it's looking very nice. It's not perfect, but I can tweak it after it's finished so it looks much better - I'm not going to re-start it, as I think I just need to get this finished. I have to get my "mojo" going, so to speak, and I think that this *might* just do it.
But yes, I'm VERY happy. Overall, I feel a lot better about most things and (as an surprise to myself) I've also done some cross-stitching (not a lot, but a little is better than none) and if I'm right, I'll be doing some more of it today. . .
Life is very good. I'm off to bead.
Later!
