I’m working on a beaded amulet bag, using a double right-angle-weave (RAW), with size 8/0 frosted pink Myuki Soji beads and some darker flat pink beads, sized 22/0.
You can see a tutorial on how to make beaded double right angle weave here. As it’s my first video ever, I’d appreciate any and all comments on how to improve it. Thanks!

Tenaciousness, persistence, and steadfastness. These are the three things that ThinkTQ says one needs to reach a goal.
Goal one for this week is to make a beaded ribbon, woven amulet bag. I’ve already had a few interruptions, and it’s only Sunday! Besides battling a severe head cold, my pug’s allergies have been keeping me up at night, and my mother and oldest brother paid me an unexpected visit today, and they stayed almost all day long.
It’s now heading towards 7:30 p.m., and I will be beading until 10:00 this evening, when I plan on stopping and going to bed. I’m now working on ribbon #4, and have at least a dozen more to complete before I can even begin to weave the ribbons of beads together to create my new amulet bag.

Being determined to build my beading business keeps me from putting things off. What can you do today (i.e.: NOW) that will help you take one step towards reaching one of your goals?
