Something different

I've still got two projects in Nihon Vogue to finish but I'll post more on them later. They are both in the stage that I am more bored than inspired with them so it is difficult to muster up excitement in describing either of them.  Sometimes I think I'll finish in time for the last class in January and then other times I think "ain't no way".  Last week I accepted a new job at my company which will require more travel and the responsibilities that come with have a larger team reporting to me.  Thus, I'll have to make very good use of the holiday period and my days off to get as much done as possible before the complete transition into my new role.  Last weekend I went to the Bellevue Bead Festival and purchased some great lampwork beads, crystals and stones and silver.  I've got ideas for several jewelry and beading projects to work on prior to Christmas and will have to take a break from evening knitting.  Tendonitus in my left elbow has been bothering me so a short respite from the needles will hopefully help.
