Hi & Welcome back to the KraftyMaxOriginals Blog!! I know it has been a long time since I have posted a blog, but I hope you all are ready for what is to come!! This will be a special blog post to review all and everything that I have done and worked on during the Summertime after I came back from my MUCH-needed vacation ☺!! I will be showing you all the completed WIP’s along with their Listings, then I will show you some of the new Pattern listings I have recently added to my shop as well. I also have seen that some of my followers and members of my K~Max Klub have been showing off some of their WIP’s or finished projects too and will share those stories here in the blog too. I recently did have a new kit put up (August) but that one has ended…but good news, I have put up the new Kit I have designed for September and will be mailing the kits ordered out for August 😉. I have so much planned and have made a ton of new patterns as well some awesome things to come…Afterall, I had a ton of time during my vacation to relax and think of new things to try and do…so make sure you keep checking out all my pages for updates and anything KraftyMaxOriginals!! I am so excited and can’t wait to share and show you everything, so without further ado, let’s get those beads rolling🤣.
The first thing I would like to share with you is all the completed and listed WIP’s I have done during the summer since coming back from my vacation!! I will not go through each one like I usually do and show you all the working photos (that would be way too much) but as I get back into the blogging for the rest of the year, I will be going back to showing you the daily working photos and describing my days and what projects I work on. For now, I will show you the completed projects by showing you all the listings for them ☺.

Have you all seen the most recent WIP that I have been working on?!?!? It is of an art that is 5×7 and done in 2drop peyote with a lot of bright colors that reminds me of stained-glass art!! 💕 It is one that I started on within the last week of August and just finished up this past Thursday. It is of a beautiful flower with a butterfly sitting on it. I will show you the final picture of this beauty and it should be listed later today…just need to finish getting it framed and photographed then added to my site 😊. Let’s go ahead and check it out (the working photo) and remember you can always check my pages @ Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page, to see where I am and what I am working on!!
Now, I am super excited to share with you the New Kit of the Month for September!! Who doesn’t love those cute little garden gnomes?!?! What about coffee?!?! It’s hard to resist putting the combo of both things together and I just had to do it!! For September’s kit, I have put together a 2drop peyote pattern of a cute gnome holding his coffee with the word coffee right below him (aka Coffee Gnome) …a great way to show you are ready for the upcoming school year and fall weather with this cutie!! You will get everything needed to make this cutie (except the thread) which means: the printed word pattern, all Delica beads, needle, plated bar ends and findings!! Kits are sold month to month, and you can buy only the ones you WANT/NEED to buy. This kit for September is available from 8/28/23-9/21/23 and will be mailed by 9/28/23. This particular pattern is only available to those who purchase September’s Kit and will not be available afterwards. Also, all Delica colors in kits are subject upon availability!! Also, I do still have a few of the past kits available in my shop as well as this new kit available for this month…so go ahead and check what is available still (click on the links below) …especially if you are looking to make something special for a certain someone and need ideas to make and gift them with!!
Last but not least, it is time to show updates and news from my K~Max Klub group! Right before I went on vacation, I put up a new pattern for all my members of this group and recently I put up another new pattern for you all to enjoy as well. I am not sure if all of you who are members of this group saw them, so I want to show you them and you can find these along with all the past beadalongs, in the file tab on our page. During this summer, Jessica posted a few of the things that she had been working on for the end of the year gifts for her children’s teachers as well as a project that she has been creating slowly over the past few years and has finally come together. I am not sure you all saw this post-not sure when it was posted but a guy customer of mine-Riley Philpott-asked me to create this custom design for him and beaded this art and had it framed as well, and I’d like to share that with you as well. So, let’s go ahead and check out those patterns and post that they shared during the summer!!
Can you all believe all the WIP’s, patterns and listings that I have done just during this summer…even after I took a month off?!?! This is just what I have listed in my shop but there are a few WIP’s that I did do but did not share with you all…that is because, even before I could list them, they were sold!!! 💕 This means some of you all are definitely following along with my daily photos and I just love that you do that and decide to buy them before I can even list them!! There was an art-of a tattooed face, in which a wonderful woman with a tattoo similar to the art, was bought…then the other was of very colorful ½ face of a woman in a bracelet style!! Both of these are actual patterns in my shop…I’ll show you them down below 😉with a link!! I am just amazed at how refreshed and energized I feel after coming back from my vacation and all the awesome projects I have been able to complete!! That is not even half of the things I have planned and have been designing in the woodwork for the upcoming months!! I cannot wait to show you all some of those amazing things and hope you all will stick with me and keep coming back to see everything and all that I have planned ☺ I hope if any of you were in the path of the recent storm, that you made it all out safely and minimal damages…I am grateful that I was not hit here in my corner all that badly. I also hope that you all have had a wonderful and creative summer like I have had and hope to be blogging on a weekly basis again…so keep an eye out for the next blog!! Have a wonderful weekend and see you all next week!! PS…here are those patterns of the WIP’s not listed because they sold!!
