What I have been up to

Now you are probably thinking, no posts really for a month, I must have been making lots of new stuff to show here, but unfortunately I haven't had as much time as I have wanted to make jewelry. I have been working a lot at my nursing job (which I absolutely love), but I do have projects in the works and will be showing them here soon. 

One thing I have been doing a lot of is stocking up on supplies. Between shopping on the internet a lot (another post coming for that), I have also been going to bead stores and craft supply stores to stock up, for what I hope to be a busy Spring/Summer. 
One of the stores I have gone to multiple times is Crystal Beads of Boston. They are unfortunately closing, but on the bright side they are having great deals of beads. Which makes it okay to spend more money right? 
Here is some of the beads that I got on one trip to the store. 

And then there is Michaels. And they always have sales, and usually I find something that I need. Between the amounts of washi tape and yarn I have bought, I  have enough to last me awhile, but I still want to buy more! What's pictured below is not the only yarn I have bought..ooops.
