By category or tag. Beads on a Budget. Curling Stones for Lego People. Good enough to eat! The first time I tried sushi, I didn’t know what wasabi was. I ate the entire side of wasabi in one bite. I’ve certainly learned quite a bit since then. I’ve learned the difference between maki, sushi, and sashimi (or at least what those terms mean in North America). I’ve learned which fish I prefer. And, I’ve learned to appreciate wasabi in appropriate amounts! Reminded me of the texture of the rice. To balance ou...

http://www.blackbootslonglegs.com/2015/02/five-minute-workitout
By category or tag. Beads on a Budget. Curling Stones for Lego People. Lately, I’ve felt a bit bogged down by indecision/lack of energy. I have ideas for combinations, but can’t seem to motivate myself to do them. Many mornings I’ll resort to one of my permanent bracelets, like my all-black X bracelet. Or my baby dragon. They’re quick, simple, and satisfying. Comfort food in bracelet form. I even gave it a few extra minutes, but couldn’t come up with a combo that worked.). And tagged Coral Bubbles. The f...

http://www.blackbootslonglegs.com/2015/02/its-never-too-late-for-love
By category or tag. Beads on a Budget. Curling Stones for Lego People. It’s never too late for love. So far, this year is completely sneaking by me. How can January be over already? I thought I had tons of time to get ready for Valentine’s Day. Then, suddenly, I realized that it was next week. And I had put almost no thought into my bracelet! Even then, I only have two, so it was clear from the start that this was going to be a bangle. Next, I picked the. Makes sense on a bracelet devoted to love. And no...

http://www.blackbootslonglegs.com/about
Hello, my name is Tracy, and I have a bit of a bead problem. What can I say, I like pretty things! A friend started me on this crazy bead journey a few years ago with an innocent gift: a Pandora bracelet. After a few months, I caught onto Trollbeads and quickly fell down that hole. Then, before I knew it, I had started adding Ohm Beads, Faerybeads, redbalifrog, and X Jewellery. I also pick up artisan beads from time to time, and recently started making my own silver beads. A co-worker once forgot my name...

Black Boots, Long Legs » My rut was more like a canyon
http://www.blackbootslonglegs.com/2015/03/my-rut-was-more-like-a-canyon
By category or tag. Beads on a Budget. Curling Stones for Lego People. My rut was more like a canyon. After I got my bead box (mostly) organized and tidy. I realized how narrow my colour choices were. Sure, I had a few brighter beads in there, but most were more aptly described as “neutral”. It wasn’t always that way though. And green spiro unique. Again, they don’t all match, but I always like the end result. I’ve seen a few other bright greens that I think would fit into my collecti...Sometimes I wish ...

Black Boots, Long Legs » Two bangles are better than one
http://www.blackbootslonglegs.com/2015/03/two-bangles-are-better-than-one
By category or tag. Beads on a Budget. Curling Stones for Lego People. Two bangles are better than one. Seemed easy. Get a second bangle. Get two stoppers. Enjoy. The first step went better than expected. I snagged a bangle at a reduced price in a store closing sale. But the unexpected timing meant I didn’t have stoppers for it, so it sat unused for almost two weeks. No enjoyment there. I assumed having two bangles would cut down on the bead swapping, but with my quickie combos. This year, I still end up...

Turquoise Beads – Bead Musings
https://sarahkrigler.wordpress.com/2016/06/08/turquoise-beads/comment-page-1
June 8, 2016. June 8, 2016. It seems a long while since Pandora released any teal and turquoise beads which have been as exciting as the Teal Shimmer Murano on the right and the Teal Pavé Silicone lined Clips on either end of this bracelet, and I have had two weeks of fun with them. The White Shimmer in the middle has also been gorgeous, good fun. Pandora’s Teal Droplets are brilliant, complex beads, as is the centre Elfbead, Sea Dew Drops. This is my perfect days off work bracelet! Darling Buds of May.
