Between taxes, cars dying and a few other dramatic things it's been a crazy week.
However, there is something good that comes of it.
I taught myself a new bead stitch last night in the hopes of distracting myself from all the crazy. It's a daisy stitch. So I made this cute little bracelet. It's quite fun to put together. This one is not perfect but with a bit more attention I could get it to a 'perfect-esque' state.
I also made a bracelet to match a dress for an event last week that I had to attend. This one is a simple put together that I designed. Nothing much fancy, but believe it or not it took me an hour to pick colours to go with those lovely purple painted bead (the problem with being a graphic designer, I just have to have it perfect). Here she be:
I have been stitching on dragons, baby garden and ravens.
The baby garden is quite a bit further along since i last shared so I will try and get a pic of it soon. Dragons is quickly approaching another page finish so I think I will wait until I have that to share it now.
I have no good teasers to put here as I don't want to promise things that may not happen, and right now giveaways are on hold as I can't afford the shipping... But hopefully you'll still come back to read anyways. :)

Beading is so rewarding. With dexterity and a little patience you can create beautiful things.

Your bracelets are beautiful! I love beading!
Lovely bracelets! I have had the pattern for the daisy chain for a few years now. I just cannot find the time. Thanks for sharing!
The bracelets are pretty. I can't wait to see an update on Dragons.
How are the snakes doing. Haven't seen anything for awhile.
Your bracelets look great, and I really like the first. Can you tell I love the color blue?
Mel, they are both pretty. You do beautiful beadwork.
