Back in bead world

So I hauled all of my beads back out this weekend.  They haven't seen the light of day since before Christmas.  I then, of course, had to spend a couple of hours re-arranging them in their little compartments, because this is what I do when I make jewelry.  This is why it is so time-consuming for me...when I first started, for months I only bought beads and hoarded them, re-arranging them, counting them, gazing at them...

However, I did learn this holiday season that I can part with my precious beads when offered cold-hard-cash money for the jewelry I make out of them.  I had a very successful sales season, and now I have to re-stock my merchandise.

Here is some of the jewelry that sold this holiday season.

T and I bought a spiffy new rug on Saturday in a nice sage green color that will make the beads I drop on the floor much easier to find than that dark, dark red rug I had before.   Rug in place,  I started in on some jewelry, you will have to forgive the pictures, I obviously need to learn how to take better pictures of jewelry, these don't show them at their best.
