Easy to get Obsessive
In this world, it is easy to get obsessed with every little thing that I put into my body. I have done quite well for a long time (until this recent binging problem). Then, I found myself really listening to every little thing other people had to say. I started trying to be perfect and abide everything that other people were suggesting as though it was the word of G-d. In the end, I totally got sick of other people’s opinions. Yes, they are opinions.
They may have a point. They may be scientifically supported, but all it does is make me go freakin insane! I have been a healthy girl (aside from my binging) for more than three years. I eat extremely healthy and I don’t like it when people make me feel even more guilty for not being vegan. Holy crap! I don’t want to be vegan. I can still eat meat and be a healthy girl.
Seriously, only getting input from other people makes me more obsessive. It also gets me to realize that many people - instead of focusing on themselves - become obsessed with fixing other people. I am totally guilty of that and now that I am realizing what it feels like to be the victim, I am going to be more considerate and keep my opinions to myself.

I am new to beading and am confused by all the sizes of seed beads. Can you tell me how many beads I get in each different size? Seed beads are measured in aughts. This can be confusing as we are used to inches and millimeters as our unit of measure. Aughts are the number of beads lined up side by side in a given space. A 6/0 bead means that you will get 6 beads in the space. 11/0 will be eleven beads in the same amount of space. So the smaller the number the bigger the bead, as it takes fewer beads to fill the space. This chart will help you determine the number of seed beads per inch based on size. Remember that this is approximate as there are differences between manufacturers, country of origin and finishes.

What if I live more than 30 miles from Tolland, CT- can I still host a beading party workshop? Please contact me. In most cases, you can still host a beading party workshop but there may be a small fee to cover additional mileage.
