I am SO BORED not going to work this week; being injured really stinks. I meant to post this picture the other day but this is the first time I've hobbled all the way back into the computer room. (Now that I'm in this chair, I may not be able to get back out, haha). I'm surprised I'm able to work the scanner through my vicodin-haze.

Anyway, here's a picture of my latest crafty project:

I made these beads and turned them into stitch markers using a tutorial from Cloth Paper Scissors magazine. I rolled up strips of old bingo game boards, then coated them with wire, metallic fiber & micro-beads. I was really happy with the results of my first try, and I plan to make lots more when I'm back on my feet. I'm planning to sell them, but I also might do some kind of incentive like giving one away free with store orders. Email me if you're interested at natasha@grittyknits.com and I'll send you one with whatever you buy.

I imagine those of you reading this are saying to yourselves, "Wait a minute--that means she not only PLAYS bingo, but she saves the used sheets too?" Yes, I am a nerd. You should all know this by now.
