Pearls and Crystals and Silver OH MY!!





After a long dry spell of not beadweaving for EBW Challenges--I finally got one entered again---there are always so many beautiful entries--I'm never disappointed even if I don't get many votes! It's such eye-candy!

My entry is a pearl bracelet--beadwoven after many hours of designing, ripping out, breaking needles....but I was on a mission! ;>) The pearls were so expensive--but I had the silver toggle and hand charm in my stash--even had the strong nymo, beadalon and crimps in my stash! But those pearls---I fell in love with them, so along with them and the heart toggle and the hand charm--it's a bracelet I would want to wear if I were getting married---no--I'm not---It'll be 46 yrs in August--first and only wedding for me! heh heh

I'm babbling when I should be putting beads away and settling down for the night--so here's the bracelet....

My beady brain idea....




Whilst ;>) doing a crossword puzzle, i figured---how would this look in a bracelet? Off to the bead store to get black and white cube beads, figure out my pattern and this is what I came up with....

Blossom earrings



My wonderful blossoms on the vine customer asked me if I could come up with some earrings to match her *new* choker--after at least 6 tries--this is what I came up with-

She's happy, and now I'm working on the second one---

Special Person's Day


Yep---PaPa and I are *Special People* ;>)

the twinnies invited us to *Special Person's Day* at their school - where we had a picnic and listened to the school choir--

( only had to park about a mile away, after dropping PaPa off ---lots of *special people* at school that day!

my great buyer!


I just listed the Blossoms On The Vine last night---and woke up to it being sold---and to one of my past friend/customers!

And to think I was wringing my hands over whether I wanted to list it or not!

Thanks to Lajjudi for being such a great customer!
