The lovely Rita of Toltec Jewels is hosting a blog hop today, The Color of Dreams, and Patricia Handschuh of The Color of Dreams on etsy provided the beads!
Here’s the bead I received – as usual, I didn’t take a photo of it before I made something!
I was going to go for the obvious, which to me was to make a bracelet, but my imagination just wasn’t cooperating. So I thought I’d make a key chain! I wanted to use blue leather cord I had, but the hole in the bead was too small. That’s ok – I used Beadalon and all went well!
I strung a random assortment of seed beads on the cord, and ended with a blue leaf. The blue leaf because the design in the bead is leafy to me!
So, what are my dreams as of late? I would have to say my business getting better and better, and being able to travel again. My business getting better and better would be so great, because I have one child in college right now, and in two years, I’ll have 2! So, if you’d like to help on that journey, I have some great beads listed in my etsy store, SueBeads etsy, and made to order on my web site, SueBeads!
See what everyone else made!
