Starting Something New

This weekend, I had time to work on sorting out, cleaning up, and pulling out new stuff in the studio.  I first pulled out a pattern to work with the old stuff from Groceries to Dinner Date.  The new plan will work very well with the materials from that project.  I'll show you that once it is underway.

I also finished up the socks I've been knitting, and will show you those tomorrow.  That meant that I could start a new small project.  I want to do some more heavily beaded projects, so I happily started to pull out some beads and other things that would work for three more little projects.  I've had some very small sea shells for quite a while and have been thinking about using them in some sort of beaded project and I think it will be this one. 

Of course, that wasn't enough stuff, so I pulled out even more: 

I've got it narrowed down to what I want to do and the base for the beading is ready, so maybe tonight I'll get the bigger elements glued in place. Then I'll be able to start beading tomorrow evening. 

Meanwhile, tomorrow, I think I'll make a skirt.  I've got some giant black and royal blue houndstooth that will make a nice skirt. 

Parting Shot:  The Red Jacket, Again.  I wore the red jacket with jeans and a t-shirt on Saturday and it looks just as good as anything else and a bit nicer than a hoodie.
