Silent Sunday

Beading Babes Reveal!

I totally missed my Silent Sunday post... so here is Miss Cheyenne... the cause of that... she went through the fence on Saturday night around 10:30 pm... so I spent most of Sunday repairing a fence and treating wounds... nothing too major thank goodness!!!

Well we had two projects and extra time this month.... and I managed to get one project finished... I swear the Ravishing Rosettes pattern was hiding from me ... at least parts of it were!! Here is what I accomplished... I really like the pattern and the colors but I totally missed several steps!! I WILL be reworking this in the future though!

As you can see.. I'm missing one part altogether and it is curving in the complete wrong direction!! Ah well.. back to the beading board with it!
This is the Runway of Pearls bracelet that was our second project... I really liked the bracelet! But as I was adding the embellishment I noticed it was getting shorter.... and shorter... I ended up with it almost 2 inches too short!! So, I stared at it for a while.... and then came up with this idea... which my wonderful boss helped me wire up.. (wire and I don't get along too well right now)

This bracelet called for embellishing both sides but as it was shrinking as I went along, I ended up only embellishing the one side.. but it still turned out fairly well.. at least I think so!

I can't wait to see what the other Babes have worked up with this challenge!!!

Just a favor I ask of you....

I just wanted to ask my followers to visit one more blog... take a moment of your day to say Hello and give a virtual hug to a friend of mine from Facebook. We have never met face to face... and probably never will.. I have always enjoyed her sense of humor and been thankful for her 'chicken advice' ... and now she is losing her husband to emphysema...  she started this blog this week to help herself cope with the dramatic changes she is going through... If you have a moment, just stop in and say hello... share experiences if you have them.. just give some encouragement to a stranger... You will feel better and I know she will too ...
