New Years Resolutions.........

Happy New Years eve.  Here comes 2009. Ok we all make them and we all break them but hopefully this year we get a little more realistic.  My new years resolution is to do something creative everyday.  Be it little or big.  I wish you all a healthy and happy 2009, and take a moment to reflect on 2008.  Hopefully you remember somethings that make you laugh and I am sure there are some that make you cry, and maybe make you angry, and hopefully a few things that warm your heart.  Good luck with you new years resolutions! 

So this is the bracelet that I am making for my friend Tina.  I have been working on it for awhile.  It is almost finished.  I just have to make the toggle clasp to put on it.  It is my first experience with a pattern in bead weaving.

Ok,so I love to bead.  It is my newest hobby.  I actually like to weave with beads.  So far my favorite kind of weaving is Peyote stitch.  Which is a beginner stitch but is very versatile. A few of my favorite places to get tutorials from are Aunties Beads.  They even have some videos on You Tube that are really helpful.  They can be found at,www.auntiesbeads.com. Here is one of 

my very first bracelets. Also a good place to start 

with buying beads on line is Fire Mountain Gems.
