In the beginning, there was a bead.  And I picked it up and stung it on a wire with other beads.  And it was good. 

The next day, I thought, "Why must I travel to a store and pay a lot of money to string beads?"  I thought I'd open my own personal beading studio.  Just for me.  With beads I like.   The idea was good.

The third day, I realized that money at a store is nothing like money to buy my own materials.  This realization was frightening, but good.
