Beaded Creations

  Sometimes I think the absolute hardest thing about attempting a blog is the motivation to keep going when you know that you have little to no readership. You see, it is much easier to get motivated if you know there are people out there to motivate. Self-motivation is a difficult thing sometimes. I have spent these last couple of weeks battling my self-deprecating thoughts, and have decided to rise anew from the ashes, and keep on writing.

  I have spent a lot of time on one specific project: beaded napkin rings. It seems like an awful lot of one thing for a blog, but I have a second agenda at hand: starting an online shop. The beaded napkins rings are the beginning of my stock for the shop...which I hope to expand to sell anything my mind can come up with.

 My napkin ring obsession stems from my love of well-set tables, and the relative ease of attaining a slightly more dressy look, for the everyday table or for the special occasion dinner. Once I get my camera (hopefully June!) I will be able to supplement these postings with beautifully pictured examples. I hope to do an article purely on table setting and napkin folding tips.

  I have spent the past few days scouring online bead-and-jewelry-finding wholesale retailers, and  after my new supply comes in, I will show you some more of what i can create...for now, here are some photos of the napkin rings I have been crafting:
