Friday

I crocheted for about an hour this morning then moved on to reading email/twitter+facebook RSS/LJ for an hour -- which included 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.

Ahhh yes, beating oneself up because time has passed. I wonder if we will ever think we were productive/selfless/awesome/noble/brilliant enough to fill the few hours that we are allotted? :-P
