I mostly slept yesterday as I woke before 8 am and I got tired about 3 pm, so I slept almost 6 hours. It´s Sunday morning and I have quite headache again, thanks for bad pillows.

What I did last night? I played Age Of Kings for some minutes but not for long. Then I went to ebay for browsing lampwork beads... Now I have inspiration back, it has been gone few months.

I am going to upgrade my LJ account on this month, this will be my journal from now on.

It´s Saturday and usually weekends are boring for me.

I am trying to find storage & organizing system for beads and findings as my work table is just a mess. When you´re doing cards and beads on same table, you can quess the result, don´t you?

Anyway, here is the picture of my working area, picture taken last autumn 2005, when I had less stuff than I have now. Right now my table is just a mess.
On the smaller wall shelf I have mostly some magazines, blue organizing drawers, another kind of organizing system....and bigger one I have lots of magazines, books, stationery, necklace displayes, make ups I want to get rid off...




I´ll take better picture when I have finished my organization.

Here is my annual wishlist for year 2006

FOR JEWELRY MAKING

+ Sterling and Gold Filled wire (for wire working)
+ Lots of Swarovski beads & rhinestones (all kind of colors and shapes)
+ Bali Beads in sterling and vermeils
+ Beadalon 49 professional wire
+ Lampwork beads (no Indian of African)
+ Multi bead board
+ Lots of Czech firepolished beads (rounds, cup flowers 4-8mm)

That´s all what I can think for now...
