Bravery (or progress towards impossible goals)

Well, I decided that I want to enter my Elemental Bead Embroidery Panel Series into the Bead Dreams competition this year. I'm not sure if it's even possible, since I have almost half of it to go and the entry deadline is the beginning of April... and I'm an accountant. Not really the best time for me to plan to spend hours and hours working on this. But if I'm going to enter, this is the year to do it, so I'm going to try my hardest to get it done by then.

Wish me luck!!

Brocade Ruffles

This pattern came from a Bead & Button magazine a few years ago.  A friend of mine adapted the collar pattern for the bracelet, which I made a couple of years ago.  I have another one in progress that is creme colored with brown accents and crystals.  Yummy!

Christmas Goodies

Here are some of the things I made and gave for Christmas this year.  I also have a couple of brocade collars that I made over the holidays from a Bead & Button pattern.  If I can get the photo edited and made small enough to upload, I'll post them shortly.
