Spending money to make money

Oi. Spent a lot of money these last couple weeks. Last week I dropped $238 on argentium sterling wire. I'm pretty well stocked up on that now.

Today I went to a bead show. Went looking for summery colors - blues and teals and oranges. And wow! I only went a little over my budget.

Spent $117. Got a beautiful pile of stones to play with. Love the colors. Have some ideas of what to make. Will probably do one or more designs tonight. Most likey I will discover that I need something else to go with these stones...meaning I will have to buy more things...like some crystals.

For the moment I wish I could listen to pandora.com while up in my studio....
