Beading Serenity, Day 5

The Dark Emerald Bead-O-Meter

Today's routine was: set sprinkler, do a row of beadwork, stagger out into the nearly unbearable heat and move sprinkler, drink water, do another row of beadwork, and so on.

And behold! My parched garden is slightly happier, my water meter spins upward, and Beading Serenity is one quarter finished.

It looks fabulous. How long does a row take?

It depends on how long the row is and how many stupid mistakes I make. A quick, mistake-free row only takes a few minutes. A couple of them have taken an hour.

Once the pattern starts to emerge, though, it's quite engaging to keep going and watch it develop.
