Starting Christmas ornaments for my 4 grandchildren. This year is a beaded twisted icicle. Pattern from Mikki Ferrugiaro.

I finished this on Friday, it’s called the Maytime Button Cuff by Danielle Wickes it’s a collaboration with Beadshop.com. It was fun to make and I made it too long,it’s too wide to be a wrap, I’ll probably shorten it later!

Today I had the privilege of teaching my friends granddaughter how to bead her first bracelet! It was so much fun and she absolutely loves the result and I think I’ve created a lifetime beader! She’s only 10 years old and this was her first attempt at bead weaving. I think she did pretty well.

In case anyone is interested in the beading app Planbead, the premium features are free for 24 hours from August 4 until August 5. It is their one year anniversary.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my two newest bracelets. 😊 I stitched both of them lengthwise in peyote. It's a bit more challenging than the traditional way because the rows are so long, but using a starter strip made it much easier. I made the house bracelet first. I'd been wanting to design one for a long time because I love little houses. Since I wanted the walls to have nice, straight lines, I decided to weave it lengthwise in peyote. Then I used many of the same colors to create a simpler striped design.
