Well, I was asked to teach Victorian and French beading recently.  I can do Victorian, but I'd never done French, so for the past two nights I've been teaching myself.  Last night I worked on just getting the technique right.  Thank GOD for a bead spinner!  Tonight I started at around 11:00 PM (it's now 3:40 am) and finished up at about 1:30 a.m.  I'm tired, but I accomplished my goal and now I just have to finesse it a little.  The leaves are too small for the flower, but overall, I'm happy.
