I was so insired by the ball gowns that I went to eBay and bid on this vintage beaded panel. I fell asleep before the bidding was over and lost by 25 cents. Oh well, this close up looks like it was done with bugle beads on tulle.

My friend, Beth, and I took the Mosaics Basics Class at the Ciel Gallery in Charlotte, NC, yesterday. The owner, Pamela Goode, Wild Hair Mosaics, was the instructor. I can’t believe I didn’t take my camera along. I’ve got to learn to live with that thing in my pocket. My cell phone has been disassembled by my grandson, so that is currently not an option! I didn’t get finished with my project, so I’ve got to go back on Tuesday. Drats! 😉

<I love these rectangular Gerber Baby Food containers for bead storage. Peter James is eating all table food these days, but I managed to save and wash several while he was in the baby food stage. (It’s also interesting that http://www.monarchwatch.org/ likes to use these containers for housing caterpillars and hatching their butterflies!) I’ve been doing a little organizing of my primary craft space, today, and I am also glad I purchased this umbrella-photo-keeper-thingy at the Container Store. I couldn’t find it on their website, but here’s one at Amazon:
