What She Got

The wait is over. 

Peggy's beads have arrived. Here is what I sent to her,

and she loves it all. Hooray!

 Here's another look at what I received.

Sorry for the low light pictures. 

It seems to always be raining and grey when around here. 

I love what Peggy sent me especially the ones with the stars. 

I hope to do them justice.

Alrighty then.

Time to cut these strands up and start creating.

Wish me luck!

Swap N Hop Update LOOK what I got!

So Peggy sent my beads super speedy a with an order I placed from her etsy shop.

(My purchases isn't pictured b/c they are for projects with their own reveal dates.)

So what do we have here:

spiky mermaid by Green Girl Pewter

silver clasp with scroll design

Holy Crap! 

My kit has disappeared. 

No...wait...

I have 2 identical trays. 

Yep, the beads were on the other tray.

Geesh! Okay, back to it...

vintage glass from an estate "Super Old + (Peggy's) favorite!!!"

pink glass center drilled beads

Czech cubes with star impressions

3mm silver rondelles

4mm purple/grey stone rondelles marked SSD Peggy what stone is that?

4mm light garnet Czech glass &

a tube of clear round size 11 seed beads

So many ideas are bouncing around, but nothing that combines the items. 

All my thoughts take the individual items and put them in different pieces. 

Soon I'm heading out to meet the Beading Babes to get their input.

Is that cheating? 
UPDATE:  They said a lariat with blocks of color like an Indian blanket. Hum...

Before I go here's the "beading" I've been doing lately.

 These are scrap wood bases I cut, painted & covered

in cut up Mardi Gras beads using E6000.

Well, I did till 3 tubes of E6000 ran out. 

Boy! These projects take a LOT of glue.

My inspiration was the project from a class I took 

at the local Chamber of Commerce's Marketplace.

Oh and I'm finally on Instagram! 

You'll find some of my favorite pictures from my blog,
