Look at how full my cone of miscellaneous beads is getting! Now, I have mentioned that I go to garage sales. And if they have a lot of beaded costume jewelry, I lowball them for all of what they have, and cut it all up to make different jewelry with. I got this idea from a facebook group-
Someone asked what to do with their miscellaneous jewels.
The last garage sale I went to didn’t have jewelry, but she did have gallon ziplocks full of craft supplies for $2 each. In one of them was about a dozen tubes of “seed beads”. I honestly despise seed beads, but I’m keeping tree colors just in case I ever want to make Tree of Life pendants. But the pink and red spaces here are actually those seed beads. I applied hot glue, poured the beads on to it, and let it dry. Over a towel of course. I was very careful not to spill them. I have to be careful for my cats! Although my cats would probably have just as hard of a time seeing these things as I would!!
I’m also taking to heart all the patchwork advice I’ve gotten in my beginners sewing Facebook group. My corners look way more even than the ones in my first two quilts I gave
to Evita for her birthday.

Last but not least, I made oatmeal cookies from a recipe from my dad’s old cookbook. I froze about 2/3 of the batter for later.
No more creativity for about a week and a half. We are going to be busy until the end of the month. I might come home from work tomorrow or whenever and bake some more of the oatmeal cookie dough. Instead of raisins. I put almond slices. And instead of molasses I put vanilla extract.
