okay, I did it

I ordered wire, head pins, and about $30 worth of beads to create my own stitch markers. My favorites are some ceramic bullies (but I also got a couple ceramic chickens for those KIP projects, some bats, and some other animals that are going to be a surprise). Watch, I'll wind up needing plain little beads and have to do more acquiring. Oh the woe that will be craft shopping! (Good thing I already have some pliers and wire cutters, huh? I bet I could even find a use for hubby's Dremel rotary tool.)
