Well I did agree not to buy anymore beads for a few months. I have so many all my storage units are full and there are bags and boxes all over the spare bed.
By mid February I did very well. Only buying the necessary findings.
Then it went wrong. I couldn't stop looking in
TexasBeadz store on Etsy. I just fell in love with all her briolettes and was dying to get practicing on my wire wrapping. And the great thing about her store is that you can buy 2 briolettes and not a whole strand. How cool is that.

Can I say I have still not bought any beads, these were briolettes, not beads. Oh boy!

I think I have completed 3 more pairs of
handmade earrings and probably have 2 more sets of briolettes to play.
