Heyloooooo~! Lubberly as usual. I hope the holidays are going well. There's not enough time in a day for my tired self. So much to do before Christmas...! Ugh.
Where do you get your cabs like the center one anyways? Like I don't already have enough stones to work with. But you find awesome focal stones. <3

I wish I had your vision to see those kinds of patterns. It looks stunning so far! You're a real inspiration.

Nope, it's stiff felt that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. They have it in a lot of different colors.. the only part I don't like about the stiff felt is the little fuzzies that have a tendency to work themselfs into the beading

Oooh, well, apparently you can dye Lacy's. Might be worth a shot? It's still beautiful. Can't wait to have a look at the finished product!

I'm not sure what 'akig' is? The bead tray is called 'Bead Buddy' and I picked it up at my local beadshop for about $18. I've got 4 of them, all with different assortments in them for other projects

that would be my worst ever typo 
i'll go look around for some bead buddies

I looked at the name of the tray and it's actually 'Beaders Palette'... hope that helps

Wow, thats beautiful so far! I have been trying to work on some beading myself, but I just can't get the hang of it. How do you get those beads so close together without having any tiny spaces? I never seem to get them close enough and I just can't keep my lines straight.

I pick up 4 beads at a time (when covering long distances) and before pinning them down, I make sure that they lay flat where I want them and then insert the needle where the beads end... I'm not sure if that's a good description, but I'll try taking a shot for you.

Thanks so much, hon. I think I got the idea. I always go for 1-2, thats probably part of the reason it gets out of order and spaced too far so fast.

I'd recommend a book to you, it's all about bead embroidery and it's by Robin Atkins, 'One Bead at a Time'. It is a very inspirational book with fantastic information on the art

If my tension is too tight, I tend to bend it all to hell

Ah... the evil tradeoffs. Yeah... crochet is hard because you want the bead to be in place while having enough room to stitch. What I learned from beading is to be gentle while keeping the beads in place. But with beadpoint, that's kinda hard if you don't know where your needle's going to come from!
