a few surprises

I got mental block beading wise the past few days. I started on a couple of beaded bracelets but didn't like how it's turning out so I had to redo everything again. I surfed hoping to find inspiration and finally saw something which I liked. :-) It's another "freeform" bracelet and I'll be sending this to Deneen together with her orders as the last time she ordered some beaded items from me she gave it away as gifts. I hope you'll like this, Deneen! I made this specially for you. Here's a sneak preview......heheheh!!!


Another surprise was my SIL's dad whom I also call Daddy as he is my godfather. He told my SIL that his wife wanted me to make some outfits for her as they have a formal gathering they need to attend. It's been almost a year that I have designed a gown or a dress and I was happy for the opportunity to design and do the beadwork for her. The timing was right as I was looking for something else to earn extra income as shipping costs has gone up and I have no choice but to adjust them. I'm thankful I still have my sewers with me as they have been loyal all these years even if I am not very active in the fashion field as I prefer to crochet and make beaded jewelries. lol!
