Quick rebeading
My mister's aunt and uncle held their Christmas present for me until their January trip to India. Score one this girl; they came home with a box of all kinds of fantastic colored chunky stuff.
This glass necklace bugged me, though, because the gold spacer beads were already beginning to chip and look shabby. 
I'm too busy with work right now to be doing a lot of sewing, but I could find 20 minutes to fix this. I lost a few inches in length, but I think the restringing was a worthwhile effort, since now I want to wear this string all the time. 
Pictures of the rest of my new treasures on fitzfabulous.






I have an absolutely favorite wood bead/metal bead necklace that I made out of two broken necklaces (one was just some random one that I had bought but the clasp was crappy...the other was from a very good friend). I remixed the beads and strung them on clear elastic cording to make two new matching necklaces...one of which I gave to my friend who'd given me the one necklace. I've had to restring mine a few times...but I wear it prob 3-4 days out of every seven...for the last 5 years!!

Love it! I don't know why, but I end up restringing almost every bead necklace I get, and they always look so much better.
