It will be 6 days until I leave for Bead and Button. I am trying desperately to tie up all the loose ends at home and get all my beads finished. I am also trying to stay calm but things are slightly more desperate then usual. On April Fools day, I broke my ring finger on my left hand, and did soft tissue damage to two other fingers. The healing process has been slow and painful and I have not been very speedy in my production work as I struggle with a wonky grip.
I have been playing with the Now Thats A Jig™. The last bead shows, I have been next to Brenda Schweder and her helper Tracy Bell, watching them show people how to use the jig. I decided I needed one after watching and listening for hours.
I am exploring all sorts of possibilities with the jig. New things emerging make really excited and I forget that the clock is ticking down to the show.
