i got a lot of beads on vacation. a lot of beads.
while walking around downtown lancaster looking for a british grocery store (which we never found) we found a bead shop. me and beads, i had to have a looky. naturally i didn't walk out empty handed...
three sets of stitch markers. the blue daisies are my favorites...or is it the dice? the blue swirlies?
i adore the flying pig. pretty much sums up when most of my UFOs will be completed... :)
i couldn't pick a favorite, so i picked a bunch of flowered glass beads...and yet another marker set...
these defied a catagory...blue glass swirl, milifiori bead, glass tile pirate. challenge?
stone peace sign, bone skull.
full of favorites! those lampwork jack o lanterns are adorable! lampwork flower beads were so pretty. everyone needs luck with their knitting, right? "eye" bead and "fireworks" bead, i couldn't leave behind. and how freakin' cute are those cupcake beads?!!
the girl in the shop asked what i was going to do with the beads, and when i told her i was going to make stitch markers with them, she didn't seem surprised. maybe others visit her shop for the same reason!
then i visited the bead lady at celtic fling. found gobs more beads:
skulls and more skulls. me and my skulls. i love that green one - it's my "alien" skull. how i love skulls!!
found the owl first (yep, me and my owls...). then i found the fox. i thought i could make an animal set, but found the mermaid and the buddha. so cute.
more glass beads - love the "firecracker beads". and shamrock beads for celtic fling, natch!
i'm in dire need of some "stink eyes" for my knitting...
the gold hand is a fave...
i'm not sure how the glass cherries will hold up as a marker, but i'm gonna try! another lampwork flower bead. the red bead is a wooden one that didn't fit in anywhere. then i found the red toadstool. i love toadstools as much as skulls and owls. odd one, i am.
wow. guess i'm gonna need more t-pins and jump rings!
mama's got a lot of stitch markers to make!!
