Hello & Happy Monday 💕!! Another two weeks has passed since I last posted…family life, Easter and stuff happened for me-what about for all of you?!?! I have been beading and getting to designing stuff too, just did not have time to always post through my media pages of all the updates…family stuff that had to take priority of but everything and everyone is fine ☺. During these past two week, I managed to finish off the colorful face bracelet (I think I have her listed as the Blue Lady Bracelet-the pattern anyways 😉) which actually already sold before I could list it, but I do have the pattern up and listed!! Then I also worked on the bead a long for my K~Max Klub-the teacher bracelet as well as starting another bracelet too. Also during this time period, I got to list the new April Kit of the month and the teacher bracelet!! Let’s go ahead and take a look back what I worked on from 4/3-4/16!!
The week of 4/3 started off with finishing the colorful face bracelet WIP!! I finished it up that same day after kicking that day off starting back up at row 140 (2520 beads) and getting to the mouth of the face. Later on in the afternoon she was finished at row 172 (3096 beads) and her face was complete. This colorful and fun bracelet was sold even before I could finalize pictures and a listing, but there still is a way to get this unique, fun and bright bracelet…you can get the pattern from me and make one for yourself or a loved one!! Let’s take a look at those last working photos and then I will show you the listing of the pattern 😉!!
Blue Lady’s Face Bead Woven Bracelet PATTERN ONLY
That same day (4/3), I had the chance to get the first 10 rows (160 beads) started on the K~Max Klub bead a long…just some background colors showing. The following day, 4/4, I got kicked off the bead a long with my K~Max Klub group of the 2-drop ‘Teacher’ bracelet pattern (that is a great pattern to use up those small amounts of beads left in your stash kind of pattern ☺) at row 20 (320 beads) and there you could see the letter R. By the end of that day, I got to row 60 (960 beads) and there you could see the far corner of the ‘H’ and the ‘ER’. On Wednesday 4/5, I started off at row 70 (1120 beads and there you can see the ‘H’ done. Later that day, when it was time for me to get my dinner going and get ready for my BINGO night, I finished up on row 110 (1760 beads) and now you can see more than half the word ‘Teacher’ is done… only the ‘T’ & ‘E’ to finish up ☺. Thursday 4/6, I kicked off at row 120 (1920 beads) and a hint of the ‘E’ showing. By the end of that day…the ‘Teacher’ bracelet was done with 170 rows (2720 beads). Look at all those colorful colors…perfect pattern to use up small number of beads and perfect to give to that special teacher you might know or have 💕. Let’s take a look at some of those working photos and then we can see the listing for it!!

Before moving on to the last WIP that I started during these past two weeks, let talk about the NEW Kit of the Month for April and then the left-over available kits from the past!! For April I wanted to do something fun, cute and spring like and what better way to do that then with a cute Yellow Spring Bird perched on a branch with bright blooms on it?!?! This is a 2-drop even count peyote pattern and everything you need to make this kit is include except the thread!! So, with this kit, you will get: the printed word pattern, all Delica beads needed, plated bar ends and findings and even needle!! This kit will be available to order from 4/10 until 5/4/23 and mailed out on 5/11/23. This pattern is only available through the purchase of this month’s kit. Remember, these kits are sold month to month, and you can buy whichever ones you want/need ☺. Also, Delica colors in kits are subject to availability and may be substituted if necessary.

Okay, the last WIP I got started on was this past Monday after Easter…4/10-another bracelet pattern cute and fun for the spring!! I got started with the first 10 rows (200 beads) with mostly background color but also the start of something 😉. At the end of that Monday before having to head out and get my dinner ready, I had done up to row 50 (1000 beads) and there you could see the bird house and a part of the bird showing already!! Oh, and do you see those flowers too?!?! The following day, 4/11 I kicked off my day at row 60 (1200 beads) and now you can see a bit of the body of the bird. I pulled my rows of 10 and beaded all day until it was time to get my dinner going and stopped at row 100 (2000 beads) …and oh!!! Just look at those flowers the bird is sitting upon!! On Wednesday 4/12, I started off at row 120 (2400 beads) and there you could see the pole of the bird house with the flowers vining down it- or at least that was the look I was going for…do you think it looks like the flowers are vining off the pole or no?!?! Hmmm let’s show off some more rows to see if I did!! At the end of that day, I got to row 160 (3200 beads) with more of the pole and flowers and of course background before it was time for dinner and then my regular night of BINGO😉. After that, I became a little MIA-like I said before…family and life gets in way sometimes and I was not able to post updates for the rest of the week, but… Remember, you can stop by any of my pages @ Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page to check in to see where I am at and what new things, I have to show you all!! Let’s go ahead and look at some of those working photos for now ☺.
Last but not least, some news and updates from the K~Max Klub💕. Right now, still have the ‘Teacher’ bracelet bead a long going on and of course any of the past bead a longs too are available in the Klub file tab. As you know, if you are a member, you get the benefits of free bead a longs but not only that, you get a free handmade set of earrings from me during your birhday month!! Karen is one of my members who recently benefited from this and decided to share with us her unique earrings that she was gifted. Any one working on any of the bead a long or patterns or kits from me?!?! Let’s see them and share them while you work on them or when you are done…I just love seeing how all my patterns come along by the hands of others!!! Let’s go ahead and look at what Karen received!!
That is all for today’s blog and catch up since the last blog…be sure to keep an eye out on any/all of my pages for news and updates on all things KraftyMaxOriginals 💕!! Don’t forget to check out this Month’s new Kit of the month and check out what kits are still available from past kits…once they are gone that is it, they will no longer be available!! I hope everyone is able to create and do something they love…even if it is for only an hour a day!! It is important to take out that time for something fun, creative, or that special hobby or thing you like to do!! Hopefully I will be 100 percent better and back to getting to the shows & festivals that are coming up…and hoping to see you all too, if you are in the area to come and visit-be sure to check out the schedule below☺!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday and an even better week!!
