Comments

I removed the comments option on my blog (at least I think I did it right). I want to receive comments because I like hearing from people, but I feel badly when I can't respond back to them if I don't have their e-mail address. This way, my e-mail is at the top of my blog and you can e-mail me personally and I can answer!

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

This is my design that was published in the February 2009 issue of Bead & Button as "Dimensional Diamonds." It can either be made as even-count peyote with an ending row of brick stitch or odd-count peyote. I made it as a cuff, but it can easily be made as a bracelet with a clasp!

Thank You

Some of you leave the nicest comments, and I would really like to e-mail you and thank you...but I can't because I can't find an e-mail address on your profiles...so...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! :)

Space Cadet

Here's my doll that I have been working on FOREVER. To be honest, the reason that she took forever was because she was a "to-go" project. I kept her in the car and worked on her when I was away from home...never AT home. She started out as a Snow Queen or Ice Princess, but everyone kept asking me if she was an astronaut, so I decided to call her my "Space Cadet." The crown was my daughter, Rachel's, idea. I made a "Crystal Burst" ring from Laura McCabe's book just so I could be able to say that I could...lol...but knew I would never wear it because I would end up knocking the embellishment off. And I hate for things to go to waste and I didn't want to undo it...so, my Space Cadet has a crown. I really enjoyed creating her, but it will be a LONGGG time before I do another one!

Moonlit Pearls/Moonlit Dusk

This is a pattern by Glenda Payseno. You can find that and other patterns by Glenda at http://stores.lulu.com/GlendasBooks

I copied a friend's (again...lol) WITH her permission. This is a version of Glenda's necklace that was created by a friend, Dianne. She calls her version "Moonlit Dusk."

I loved Dianne's colors so much that I had to have the same colors, and it wears very nicely and looks so pretty that I'm going to make a bracelet to match! :)

Gold Iris Bugle Bracelet

This is another version of the bugle peyote bracelet. It's made with Size 1 bugles in a gold iris color.

Puffy Star

This is a three-dimensional star designed by Glenda Payseno. This is an easy pattern. I am very geometrically challenged (lol), and I was able to make it! I added a string of 15/0s at the top so that I could wear it on a neckwire! Glenda's patterns are located at http://stores.lulu.com/GlendasBooks

And thanks, everyone, for the nice comments! :)
