All is well when...

... you finish a project!

 Before I started knitting, I fell in love with this book, and started crocheting with thousands of tiny beads (literally "thousands", for a small purse like below, I used 4500+ beads).
The finished fabric was sitting in my craft tool box for about 3 years, and I finally found enough motivation on finish up the most tedious part - sewing the fabric to the metal frame.
And yey!  I feel great.


This is the book:
But it was so tedious, especially the "threading 4,000 beads before starting the project" part, that I decided to knit instead. Knitting is 100 times easier.

My second accomplishment for tonight only took 15 minutes.  I bought this kit at Droguerie 3 or 4 years ago, now I can't even remember how it was supposed to be made, so I had to improvise.  Finally finished it!
