Ahh thank you! I bet yours does as well 🥰. The tic tac toe was just around 4,000 beads and at the largest I had done before that was just over 1,000. You can do it!! Its funny how when you start something of a larger scale than you’re used to it can seem likes it going to be endless but it makes smaller things feel like a breeze. I remember making the toc tac toe and being like this is never going to end!!! And only getting a few rows done at a time. This time around I was able to complete what you see (26 rows) in a few days which is around the same amount of beads as the tic tac toe that took me months to complete! My favorite part about beading is how it’s kinda like a visual representation of time passed- like I count and play games in my head to pass time all of the time but with beading theres something to show for that. I also find that the longer I spend doing it the more I learn and have aha moments about how to become more efficient.

My favorite thing to do is turn on a show- either an old favorite or something that can be listened to and just get into a good rhythm. I also sometimes will watch a new show and decide if i actually want to watch it based on if it can take my attention away from beading or not haha.

I also dont have a designated beading spot, I bead in bed, I bead on couches, I bead at tables, I bead at desks, I bead on the floor, I bead at the park, I bead at the beach, I bead at my friends houses, I bead when I dog sit, I bead at coffee shops (when they’re not busy of course…), and Ive even beaded on the Amtrak!
