My gift to myself was some swanky new beading supplies and equipment.... one package arrived last friday, it was full of the most wonderful tiny beads in a variety of pleasing colours.... today another package arrived, it contained some new tools.... better quality ones, also some sterling silver findings.... I am so excited.... it really has got Christmas off to a bang, and there's more to come. I've also ordered myself a couple of gooseneck magnifiers, for the finest work, which includes making chain mail out of the 3mm sterling silver jump rings I got today.
