My new pens whee

Got some new pens...  Found this montblanc 254 at the junk shop in town along with 2 sterling pencils (also pictured).  I've been trying to register on the pen network without any success, to try to figure out where I can get the MB serviced...  I'm pretty excited about it even though it has a crack :P  The bottom photos are some of the new pens I got from the clearance bin at the art supply shop in town.  (And a few from Wubear on ebay)...

Best part about the MB is it was $10 :)

Got a new phone.

Wasn't expecting to buy a new phone for some time... but happened to be going to the mall for some other stuff and there was an auction going on.  I got the xperia S... usually around 4700kr for 2000.  Been having to deal with all the attendant crap that goes along with changing abonnement and moving over the sim card and indeed having to change to a micro sim card blah blah blah.

Anyhow, did actually manage to list my daily 2 items (one in each etsy store)...

Beaded bead

Based on (and similar to, but not the same as) the Cluster Beaded bead by Gwen Fisher in the Apr-May 2012 Beadwork magazine.  The funny thing is, I've been playing around with that beaded cube with the truncated 3-bead corner for a while now.  I should've carved out a little more time to work with it.. then I'd feel less like I was 'copying' Gwen and Florence's beads...  ahh well.. great minds and all that. :)

and

Catseye fibre optic teardrops

Hopefully we can get the phone stuff sorted out before I have to lose my mind studying for my history finals on wednesday... then I have 2 MORE the next week... Norwegian (blargh) and natural sciences stuff...  Not really sweating it.. perhaps I should be more worried.

I've been slogging along with 2 items a day (one per shop)...

Here are the latest:
