Wellp

Today I learned that beading has gone from occasional hobby to compulsion. Or at least to a point where I'm actually twitchy if I'm not working on SOMETHING. I found this out after packing up my bead case for a visit to Drew's parents with the kids today and of course between escaping cats and getting Wee Beastie out the door I left said case in the living room. Cue Andee being super antsy without it for the entire visit.

This is... somewhat less than good. But once I got home and got to work on Boo a bit, lo and behold I became human again. Ai ya.

Anyways, in said bead news, I have finished my interim project, which is a strap bracelet with a pattern of blue roses on it. It was something of an attempt to use up the beads I'd ordered for Amanda's silent santa present (which, now that I've finally gotten it in the mail I can post pictures of, and then of course I unearthed an old pattern I'd thrown together for Big Boo and... yeah, instead of using up what I've got I had to order more blue beads this week, hurray.

And the very top of Boo's head:



Other than that, not too much to report. The kids are on school vacation this week so we have them until Thursday. Or rather I do, since I have the flexible schedule and the ability to work from home, lol. It's okay though, I don't mind, and they tend to behave pretty well for me plus... it's cute watching Drew coming home and having his whole family around to pile on him after work. :) Unsure what we're going to do with all that time other than go down to Cinefart to see The LEGO Movie again. And you know, sing "Everything is Awesome" a few bazillionty more times.

Ugh and ow. I have my annual zit. Actually, I haven't had one in at least a couple years, so of course this one has to be a painful itchy proto-Vesuvius above my chin. Whine.

That's about all the news fit to print, really.
