Sporadic work ethic

This summer I've been working in fits and starts. I've been trying to get back to the torch for 4 days now but "stuff" keeps getting in the way.

Today I HAVE to paint our guest room. Hubby got the insulation and sheetrock up and all textured, now I just need to do my part. I've changed my mind 3 times about the color to paint and have finally settled on a pale mocha from Behr called malted milk. I've also, almost, settled on the carpet we'll be putting in both bedrooms. Definitely a berber and found a pattern I like but it's only available in either plain, light colors or tweedy with too many dark colors in it. sigh.

OK, this is supposed to be about BEADS.

I'm also currently debating about trying to restart a frit business. Bead sales are slow to nonexistent in the current economy and I KNOW that supports items in ANY endeavor are where the real money is. So I'm dithering about THAT. Frit is WAY expensive. To invest enough to have all the colors to get started is somewhere around $5,000. sigh.

And on the creative front I'm feeling the need to do something other than bread & butter beads. So once again I'm telling myself I need to warm up with the B&BB then spend some time doing something really creative, then do some more B&BB. But first I need to to get to work.

It's never ending issue with me.
