Watching an awful Sharks game is apparently more conducive to beading than watching an engrossing Bronte adaption.<\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t look like much, does it? Well, it isn&#8217;t. I suspect Mom has gotten farther along on her sleeve, even though she started later than me. And hers will look much tidier, of course. She&#8217;s already complained to me that the big beads are a smidge bigger than the larger pearls, so they don&#8217;t sit perfectly flat against the pearls and shouldn&#8217;t we put a dab of glue along each and every one so they stay lined up?<\/p>\n<p>Who is this woman and why is she such a perfectionist? Or more to the point, who&#8217;s child am I? Was I adopted? Maybe it&#8217;s true, I am a midget she bought from the gypsies at the circus like she teased me when I was a kid. Because for all our similarities, sometimes it&#8217;s like we come from different planets. But I&#8217;m grateful for her help, don&#8217;t get me wrong! I couldn&#8217;t do this without her. And my stepmom-in-law Deb will also be coming over on Saturday to help bead the forepart (note to self: pattern and cut forepart before Saturday).<\/p>\n<p>When I cut everything out, I realized the pearls on the fabric are actually two sizes &#8212; rows of larger and smaller. So we&#8217;re beading the larger row with the bigger red beads and the smaller row with the seed beads. Fits well and gives a little contrast.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing is a royal pain in the butt. Much easier to toy with the micro settings on my camera than bead another row!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow night is dinner for Mom&#8217;s birthday, so no sewing. Can sew Thursday. Friday, Bridget is coming over for Hogwarts Event planning, maybe dinner, probably not sewing unless we end early (and we never end early). So I need a marathon sewing and beading session on Saturday if I have a real hope of finishing this thing in time for the feast!<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 640px;
