Friday

I crocheted for about an hour this morning then moved on to reading email/twitter+facebook RSS/LJ for an hour -- which included [livejournal.com profile] iterum's recommendation of the two most recent "Literal Videos" from this artist.

Now what. Let's not beat myself up for letting the time slip by.

The first thing i wanted to find when i turned on the computer is a bit about making buttons with seed beads and crochet. The searches i tried were not the most productive as the three key terms can be used in so many different contexts. The top hit was the beaded ball (and here i add to its link ranking), the flatter button in the frog could probably be adapted with bead stitches as well.

I made a button i'll need to document it in a bit. ~ 1 yd doubled thread, 6 beaded sc, 12 beaded sc, drop one thread, stuck in old button, 6 joined sc, 3 joined sc, fastened off.
