Let the Beading Begin!

 

I have finished the stockinette top section of Sweet Dreams and have just begun the lace and beading section.  (Seriously, I’m all of four rows into the lace and beading.)  Thankfully, Max fell asleep in a  Fancy Feast induced coma last night and I was able to work with the beads by myself.  I can tell I’m going to need to buckle down on this if I’m going to get it finished by the end of the month.  The beads are slowing me WAY down.  I should get faster with some practice, but I really haven’t beaded very much in the last few years.  Hopefully Max will be cooperative and sleepy!

There was a question about tarnishing from the silver lined, clear beads I’m using and while anything is possible, I’ve never had a problem with tarnishing on any of my other projects, and I use the silver lined, clear beads as kind of a default bead.  They go with everything and they look like raindrops.
