My good intentions for a productive week is not going well. I seem to be crippled by the strange feeling of a lack of purpose since my children have gone away. I know this is ridiculous - they are normally at school all day so this should just be like a school day but longer - free time until hubby comes home at 6:30pm.
I've sat at my beading desk & only managed to make the red earrings my mother in law ordered. I've done all the washing and half heartedly starting sorting my daughter's room pending arrival of new wardrobe on Friday.
Part of the problem is that I have a commission thats causing me a headache - 6 beaded curtain tie backs. In total they add up to nearly 5 metres of beading! Need to find the right colours - order in samples, then make up some examples for approval prior to ordering in bulk. Trouble is customer lives some way away & whilst curtain sample has been provided for colour all other correspondence will have to be done via phone/email. Not the easiest as I have not seen the tiebacks she has in mind - apparently she saw some in Dunelm Mill but a trip to the local store here revealed none in stock. I have found some on ebay and etsy so have a bit of an idea!
Hopefully the beads I've ordered will come tomorrow so I can make a start on some examples - although I fear I will have to use some acrylic beads (my snobbery over these will have to be overcome) otherwise they may be too weighty (& too expensive). No doubt once I know exactly what I am going to do I will be more enthused.
