Well work was certainly productive yesterday. I spent the entire morning and afternoon sitting in the store finishing beading the dress. It was nice. Not many people came in (as usual), though one guy that did invited Seth (and me too) to join his group of friends that gets together every week to play 40K. Seth was really happy about that. He hasn't gotten to play regularly since the Warhammar fantasy tournament started at the store on Saturdays. So we'll see how it turns out. The guy -Dave- was nice, does blacksmithing of all things, and interestingly enough is pagan and most of his friends in the group are Jewish. Yep, it should make for interesting religious discussions if nothing else.
Oh my gosh Marianne! That beading is awesome! And the dress is amazing too. I still can't believe you just taught yourself how to do all that. It's so pretty!
Thanks Abbey-dabby! I'm glad you like it :) Beading isn't that hard to do, at least the way I do it. I'm sure more advanced craftsmen have some tricker techniques than I know. This is how I do it:

Pretty simple, but it takes patience to sit there and take tiny little stitches. I bet you could do it with no problem.
