Starting the beading

While I am patiently waiting on the Kreinik braid that I need to actually finish my Halloween Fairy, I did start the beading on her tonight while watching the baseball game. Pretty hard to do without the proper lighting. This belfast linen is quite dark and I had to pull more beads out than I got in (or close to that, at least!). Anyhow... making progress :-)
