with surgeons and teenage girls had me excessively busy with my hands this week – as I tried to keep my mouth quiet!  Special thanks to my dad, who let me vent about the surgeon.  If you’re not going to listen to your patient, why bother talking to them in the first place?!? … ‘Nough said!

Back to busy hands:  I’m knitting with beads and really fine thread.  Those are size 0 needles (glorified tooth picks) and hex beads, knit onto earrings:

I also continue to play with chainmaille:  A moebius sample piece and a copper byzantine/glass ring bracelet …

Not even touching the teenage gripe.  Chalking it up to hormones, and hoping for a better week …  Umm ~ it could happen!
