#and thread

Yes, that is a dime.

Those are seed beads, the needles are size 0000, they are pointy AF, and I did string all of those beads onto that #8 cotton thread.

I found this almost completed project in a bag that was nestled in a bin of yarn (aka “my stash”) in the garage.

I looked into my Projects page in Ravelry, and there it was.

I started this thing in 2005. There was a “still working on it” note entered in September 2018, and that was it.

I don’t know how it ended up in a bag inside a bag and in the bin, but sometimes that’s what happens to WIPs (Works In Progress) and UFOs (Unfinished Objects).

Between 2005 - 2018 - yesterday, I’ve started and finished many pieces and projects.

As of yesterday, this piece is done. Well, all I have to do is find the snaps I bought for it (back in 2005) and then sew them on.

Why, you may ask, weren’t the snaps in the bag?

Good question. Because I put them somewhere safe. I thought.

Why would I make something like this?

Because I saw a picture of it and wanted it. No. Not just wanted. I needed it in my life.

Brain: Hey, don't you have that thing you need to do?
