Patience...me?!?!

Not a bone in my body!!!!
I used all the beads I have made for spangles on Sunday by removing the old spangles off some of my own bobbins and replacing them with my handmade beads. So much for waiting to make new bobbins!!
Then I could not wait to see them in action, so I changed the bobbins on my current project!
Next, I just *had* to change the rest of the bobbins for more of my own.
So here they are...the longer threaded bobbins have my own beads.

And close up of some of the bobbins...

Do you want to see the whole picture??

I thought so :)

My daughter made the pin cushion about 10 years ago and it is still one of my most favorites.

Last time I showed this lace, it was just around the corner. It is growing, but I really need to put it away and work on some other projects!!

Oh well, the motivation may come tomorrow

I admit I did another repeat today after taking the pic:)

I was celebrating - today I purchased a skirt - size 14!!

No big deal, you think? This time last year, size 22 was too small!!

Hugs :)

I can't say that I blame you! I'd want to put those new spangles to use right away also! The lace is looking wonderful. There's no way I'd be able to stop working on it!

Congratulations on the weight loss! I've been making a half-hearted attempt for the past year, and I'm to the point where an 18 is loose, but a 16 is too tight. I'll keep plugging along. Thanks for the inspiration!
