I promise I haven't quit beading! I've made a bunch of rings and a bunch of earrings and I'll take pictures of those soon, but what I've REALLY been working on is Melanie Potter's Petalicious Cuff. You can see it here:

I will try to take some "work-in-progress" pictures, but I usually stink at that, so that's why I posted the link. You know how sometimes when you're working on a project that is going to take forever and you just get sick to death of it? This bracelet isn't like that! :) The base consists of right angle weave and chevron stitches, which are two of my favorite. The pattern is very well written, so I don't have to think really hard (which is a good thing) and right now I'm really just enjoying the heck out of it! I'm almost finished with the base. I'm a very slow beader and I'm beading even slower on this because I REALLY don't want to have to rip any stitches out! Wish me luck!
