I'm still beading my potential competition entries and am rapidly running out of time to get them completed.

Due to my panic buying of beads on the internet and then not liking them when beaded up together, I have now beaded one of my components (of which I need 5) 12 times- and don't want to use any of them in my finished piece!

So out come the scissors and once again I sit and re-arrange my colours, trying to find a combination I love.

Still, looking on the bright side, I can now bead these in my sleep- you never know when that skill could come in handy.

It doesn't help that I can barely walk or move after spending all weekend at a roller derby bootcamp with the lovely Texas Roller Girls. Just as soon as the bruises go down and I can lift my arms again I'll crack on with the beading.
