Beadwork Poll - How Do You Handle your UFOs (UnFinished Objects)?: "We all (well, most of us) have them. Beadwork projects we started back when we first saw the design or the bead pattern. We knew we had to bead them, the project was just too gorgeous/fun/challenging not to work! But then, a new beading magazine came out or we saw a new bead pattern for sale on Bead-Patterns.com and we HAD to bead that one, right now! No waiting - we had the Need To Bead and to bead that particular pattern immediately. And right then, the UFO pattern established itself.
Yes, I'll admit it. I have too many beadwork UFOs and need to take stock of them. I can answer 'yes' to almost all of the answers in the poll, which tells me I need to get a grip on my beadwork. Time to weed them out, reclaim the beads, decide which bead projects to finsih and when. It's a big job, but unless I want to be overwhelmed by UFOs, I need to do it, and soon."
I had a bit of a chuckle reading about "UFOs" - although in my house, it's more "UCPs" - unfinished cleaning projects! Post a comment with your favourite UFO story, I'd love to read them!

How to Wrap a Rock with Flat Round Peyote Stitch
How to Wrap a Rock with Flat Round Peyote Stitch: "First you need to know how to do flat round peyote. You can find very extensive, clear instructions for this stitch here. Graph paper for the stitch can be found here. Any rock can be wrapped, but for your first try you should select one that is at least semi-flat on both sides and not too thick. Also, the more circular the rock, the easier time you will have finishing it. The so-called 'river rocks' that you can find in Home & Garden shops or even in crafts stores such as Michael's work very well for this beading project."
This is an interesting way to use your beading skills! Maybe a new version of the "pet rock" craze? hehe
