Trying to breathe...

Maybe today I could just make the same ring I did yesterday.  No.  I said I would do flat herringbone.  I don't like doing new things until I've done them.  It's easier not to try new things.  But art is my love.  I have to talk myself into things.  And remember to breathe.  I'm wearing my two new rings from yesterday to give me inspiration.  I've already watched the video twice and picked out my colors.  It's just a matter of getting my mind wrapped around it.

I keep telling myself that if I take my time and relax that I will get through it.  Even the puppy is routing me on.  Keeps swatting me in the arm.  Did you do it yet?  Aren't you gonna start?  Okay.  Here goes...

This took an hour.   I know you can't see it.  Bad camera.  Tiny beads.  Don't laugh.  This took a lot of work.  On the good side no teeth grinding.   I do have a headache though.  I think I held my breath the whole time.  It's surprising how many loops there are just to get your beads going in different directions.  Next time,  I would work with larger beads for the first run through of a stitch.  It's very difficult following where you are supposed to go when the beads are so small.  I was hoping to make a bracelet, but if that took an hour...I'll see you next Saturday.  After the first three rows, there's a sort of rhythm.  It started to make sense and it looks like it's supposed to.  I think.   All day long, I've been procrastinating.  Fearful of learning a new stitch?  Maybe I don't think I can do it.  I don't know.  I wonder what tomorrow will hold.
