the Akamai Knitter

I’ve been a bit off kilter lately. I even had to make sure ‘undecided’ was a word.  :P

To remain grounded, I’ve been obsessively seed beading. To that end, I’ve finished some things. I don’t have the energy to pack it all in one post, so I’ll trickle them out in several posts.

The first is the Sky Blue Opalite Necklace.

I finished this over the weekend while waiting for a toggle from Auntie’s Beads. I would have posted this earlier but it’s been a crazy week.  More on that later.

Here’s a detail shot of the Magatama beads and round Swarovski crystals I used to give the rope some zing.

I was originally going to use a lampwork bead as the focal piece of the necklace, but then I found this toggle and I changed my mind.

I’m enamored with the toggle! I adore the toggle! I can’t remember where I got the toggle!

And who knows how long I’ve had it…

The beads are simple Opalite beads I got from an Etsy seller awhile ago. I bought them with  no purpose in mind.

I’m just not sure whether or not the toggle and the beads fit with this particular rope. Thus, I am unsure and undecided

As for the madness that is this week? On Monday the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game was on and my beloved Duke Blue Devils WON. They WON!

Woohoo!

I have many thoughts on the matter, but this isn’t really the place for it. So I’ll just hush up. ;)

On Tuesday I had the extreme pleasure of dining and meeting Megan’s daughter Maddie! Here’s a picture of the two of us.

She is the sweetest thing ever. I had a great time and I feel so blessed to have gotten a chance to meet this special person. I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get to meet her AND Megan at the same time.

You see I also got to meet Megan’s ex-husband because that’s who Maddie is here with, but we won’t go there.

O.o

That’s it for me for today. Happy Wednesday, folks.
