Hello & Happy Monday!! It has been a bit since I posted a new blog post, but here I am ready to fill you on what has been going on in the world of KraftyMaxOriginals since 3/6 ☺. I hope you are all doing well and being able to create/work on the things that make you all happy…I have been beading up a storm and also trying to create new patterns/designs too. In the past 2 weeks, I have finished three WIP’s completely and started a new one( a 5×7), had some new listings of which, one was sold already (good news is that I have a pattern for sale in my shop for that particular bracelet, so you could make your own 😉). As of this moment, I have not seen much to share with you for our K~Max Klub group-maybe soon I will have something new to share with you all in there…anyhow, let’s get the beads rolling and see what has been happening in the past two weeks, shall we?!?!
On 3/6, I ended up having to get things cleaned up from the previous weekend and get the new Kit for March ready, so I did not spend the day posting on the computer…so my beading started on 3/7 of the WIP of Bruno that I had been working on. That day I started off at row 155 (7440 beads) and his hands and more of his shirt getting done. By the end of that day, I was able to head off to get my dinner and nightly chores after getting to row 180 (8640 beads)-the end of his shirt possibly and a little something more?!?! Not too much left on it…So on 3/8 I was able to come back and have it completely finished (the luck of being able to do the last few sets before bed the night before ☺) at row 204 (9792 beads) and there you could even see a hint of his pants under his shirt. I am going to show you all the last few working photos, then I will also show you the listing of his with the direct link so if you’d like to know more about him and how you could add this cute and wonderful Art Tapestry to your home, or the third option of being able to get the pattern and make him yourself!!! So, let’s go ahead and take a look 😉!!

Later on, that same day (3/8) I had the chance to start a new WIP-this time a bracelet!! I started out by showing you the first 20 rows (360 beads) and it was mostly background but there was already a hint of something else there too…a nice bright color being outlined with black. By the end of that day, I was able to get to row 40 (720 beads) and at that time it looked like the shape of possibly an ear. Something happened to my posts for 3/9…I had actually got to work on a custom order (will show in a picture below in case you didn’t get to see it) but did manage to work on this bracelet WIP too…but no posts posted…so let’s get to where I came back on Friday 3/10!! That day I kicked off with 100 rows (1,800 beads) with the whole top of the kawaii-style Thumper on display and starting to get to the rest of his body. By the end of that day, I stopped at row 130 (2340 beads) to get things ready for the weekend. At that time, you could see his little front paws and a little bit of his back legs and belly. By the time I came back the following week on Monday 3/13, I had been able to finish Thumper Completely and get photos done and even list him. So let me show you a few of those working photos and then also his listing 😉. And the best news is, that even if he is sold…I have a pattern available, and you could make your own💕!!

Before I move on to some of the other WIP’s I got up to, I want to go ahead and introduce you to the Kit of the Month for March & also show you some of the past available kits I still have!! This month’s design features a simple but very elegant Lady with Red 💋 and is of course done in peyote stitch even count 2-drop. You will get everything needed to make this simple and elegant design (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 march is available from 3/7/23-4/4/23 and will be mailed by 4/10/23. This particular pattern is only available to those who purchase March’s Kit and will not be available afterwards. Also, all Delica colors in kits are subject upon availability!!

The next WIP I did, was started on 3/13 and I finished it up by 3/16…and even before I could get it listed it was SOLD!!! Can you guess which one that was?!?! It was the kawaii style Groot bracelet that I had worked on ♥!! I forgot to keep up with my rows and counts working on this WIP, so what I want to do is show you some of the working photos I have for him and since he is sold I can’t show you his listing, but I can show you the pattern design I have of him from my shop of which you could make all on your own!! He’s just too cute-how can you not want to make one for yourself?!?! Let’s go ahead and take a peek at those working photos and then the pattern 😉.

The last WIP I got to start was on 3/17 (ST. Patrick’s Day) and is of a 5×7 Art. This will be something fun and new!! I started out with the first 5 rows (240 beads) and already there’s something going on besides the background!! I pulled my rows of 5@ a time and beaded them together on and off throughout the day until I had to get my supper ready that night…so I stopped at row 25 (1200 beads). It is a little hard to see and get a good photo of this design with the sheen coming off that dark blue background, but it appears to be a flower and some hair. To see more, come and check out my pages @ Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page to know where I will be starting next!! For now, let us look at those 2 working photos 😉.
This is where I shall leave you all for this time…I do not have any updates at this time for my K~Max Klub Group, just the regular being that all past bead-alongs are available on the klub page through the files tab. I have been creating more designs for jewelry and patterns and will be starting to show some of them soon, so make sure to definitely check out my pages to see what is new and what I am currently working on. Don’t forget about this month’s Kit of the Month-Lady with Red Lips…make sure you grab your kit before 4/4 so you can make this simple but beautifully elegant bracelet to have something unique to wear or give to a friend!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and an even better rest of the week!! Create and inspire someone…I hope me, and my creations help inspire all of you to get out there and create too!!
