My beading addiction is beginning to sap quite a bit of money. I spent 45 pounds this month on the deposit for three courses. I went to one on Saturday. Just three people, including myself, and the instructor. Just before i got in there i realised that it was an intermediate course, and of course i've only been doing this for a few weeks! It didn't seem to matter though. With so few people, the instructor was able to help me get started and show me how to do the stitch, and eventually i picked it up. It was quite a relaxing day. The instructor had one of the new agey cd's for nice background noise. She'd bought grapes and biscuits and the four of us has nice chats...

The bracelet is in peyote stitch, which means it is flat and it had a pattern. It is taking me quite a long time to do, and i just want to finish it and wear it! The other courses are to make a necklace, and another bracelet using odd-count peyote.

It is a lot of money, but then i don't go out. I cannot wait til July, i am still on course to paying off my debt (apart from mortgage).

So what big things have i got to buy this month...fence...although most of that should be from share money...100 pounds more of cc repayment...could do with a haircut...
