I sew, I sew...

Still trying to get Christmas presents done.  The good news is I seem to have stopped breaking needles (yeah!).  As always, I have way more projects than time will allow.  I'll have to see what gives - projects or my sleep!  I am finally doing a little bit of beading, a crocheted bracelet that was ordered.  It's a bit more bling than my usual, but I like it - it has AB finished faceted beads,amethyst triangles and pink and blue seed beads (all AB (AB=Aurora Borealis, a shiny multi-colored finish)). The large beads I'm using have a clear base- I might feel the need to try the black based ones in a bracelet for me!
