You guys.

I can't seem to shake the sick right now.    It's mostly a functional sick if you count a symphony of guzzling cough syrup in bed and then coughing so hard anyway that said cough syrup shoots up, out and into the toilet like a geiser from planet EW as 'functional'. 

That's more than I wanted to say on the topic, so how's about you just send some healthy thoughts and prayers my way please?  You're awesome.

In the 12 years I've been a seed bead connoisseur I was never previously inspired to make a herringbone chain.  Maybe because I abhor patterny repetition~ and trust me when I tell you it doesn't get any more repetitive than ladder stitching 2 beads at a time around 16 inches of cord.  Just typing that made me want to stick a fork in my eye.

And yet...


I won't tell anyone if you won't, K?

    I'm sorry to hear that you are still sick....Hmmm..for the coughing...try a little honey...or warm lemon water with a bit of honey. I don't like the taste, but it helps sooth your throat.
    It's mindless stitching, I know. But it sure looks pretty.

    Colds can be nasty...wishing you well!!!
    I'm one of those people who gets the flu shot and while the Dr's tell me it only works for certain strains I feel it helps to give your immune system a boost...at least it sure seems to for me!!!

    I know it isn't for everyone but I wouldn't be without it as it has made a huge difference in my over all health!

    Great herringbone chain...I love the look but I just don't have the patience for bead work, part of the reason is because I can't see the little fellows very well...I've tried but it just is not in me, but I can appreciate the work involved in the pieces!!!
    Take care...
    Cheers

    Look how productive you are when you are sick! And yes, that whole patterning thing makesgag reflex kick in (not others doing it, just me!) and seed beads make my eyes twitch. You have patience (and eye sight) like a tiger about to pounce! Enjoy the day. Thinking healthy thoughts for you (that include hunky looking men catering to your every whim!) I hope that image cheers you up (I know it did me!)
    Enjoy the day, Juls!

    Sorry for the sick (she said from behind her germ-inhibiting mask)!

    When it comes to beadweaving things in herringbone or peyote, I alternate between hating the repetition and falling into a OCD Zen hypnotic zone from the sameness.

    Which may not sound like a good thing, but it DOES make the voices shut up for a while ;-)

    Nice work, and oh man I hope you're feeling better soon. The coughing stage of illness has to be the worst - it seems to go on forever.
