... and she liked it. I am so glad, since I was really not sure what to send to her. She uses mainly small beads (at least it looks like that when you look at her blog). I am not using very big beads either, but for sure bigger ones than what I have seen in her designs. I found those orange glass tubes and I thought she might be able to incorporate it into one of her seed bead designs, if she did not want to use the other beads. I also put a couple of different elements for her to use as the focal, in case she did not like my choice.
My mom's birthday was Tuesday. I made this necklace for her a while ago, but was hesitating if I should give it to her on Mother's day or on her birthday. I waited until this week and she was really happy about it. She likes longer pieces (she always tells me if they are short, she can't see them when she's wearing them ;-). I used amethyst beads from Michaels, silver plated wire and some chain (don't remember where I got that one). I made the clasp myself, and I like actually how it turned out. The middle U shape wire pieces is coiled with a very fine gauge wire, so it's hard to see in the photo. My mom loves all kinds of "angel"-things, so I thought this little angel-coin would fit perfect in her necklace. What do you think? I know it is simple and monochrome, but in person it is really cute.
I received my bead soup yesterday. My wonderful partner Rebecca has sent me not one, but two soups.
It almost feels like Easter again! All these pretties are coming my way. Kelley of Kelleybeads sent me different shots of the eggs she just finished for me. To pick some. Look at those pictures and tell me which ones would you have refused..... All the possibilities. Is there something like a yearly "egg-subscription", Kelley? I would definetely be your customer. Thanks for the pleasure. 
If you want eggs too, contact Kelley. She is currently only taking custom orders, but you can get in line (you would be right behind me for the next order).
I. AM. EXCITED.
Who has seen this bead? It escaped from me - all bead stores in the area have been interrogated. The missing object disappeared a few days ago in the living room and has not been seen since then. A crime can't be excluded.
If you know this been - please contact me. For anyone sending it back to me I am offering a reward of a free pair of earrings. It measures about 1 cm / 0.4 inches in length, has a purple color. It's a glass faceted glass bead drilled top to bottom. And I desperately need it since it is the one bead missing in this very cool bracelet project.
Cindy will be posting the April ABS Carnival Bloggers Post tomorrow, so I thought I would host another giveaway to bribe some people to come back to my blog again.
