on to the next project

It's good to finish something.  Due to 2 days of enforced sitting in a chair, the beading project is finished.  I can't post photos as it is supposed to be a Christmas surprise.  There is a stray thread that needs gluing, and then it's all done.  I found a lovely new book on beading at my library http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Art-Beading-Essential-Techniques/dp/0811871606/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1304372792&sr=8-1 that has a number of lovely projects.  I think I need to buy it.
