Hello & Happy Friday!! How is everyone doing ?!?! It’s been another crazy 2 weeks since I last posted a blog😊…something came up last week and I just wasn’t able to post, but that just means that I have even more to share with you this week😉 Then this week was off to a crazy week with car troubles…anyhow, I’ve been working on WIP’s and have since finished 2 since I last posted and will be probably finishing up another one today!! I have also been able to get up at least 3 New listing, including the new March Peyote Bracelet in a box kit and even get a new pattern made for a bead-along for my K~Max Klub!! There was a bit of delay to get the February Kits out, but good news they are on their way for those who have ordered them and some lucky ones might have already received theirs in the mail by now😁 Let’s get started, shall we?!?!
Let’s go back and review where I last left off from the Flash Bracelet from 2 weeks ago. I last left you all at 70 rows (1,260 beads) on 3/4, then I was off to go set up at the Clay County Strawberry Fest🙂 Last Monday, when I came back to my bead tray, I had Flash’s face pretty much done…that smile is just too adorable!! With this WIP I didn’t keep track of my rows/counts, but by the time I had finished for that day his shirt was done and I was just beginning to get to his bottom half😁 Then, last Tuesday I was able to come back and finish him off completely!! I just love the way he turned out😍 For now, let’s take a look back at some of the working photos and then later on I ‘ll show you his listing!!😉
Next up, one of my New Listings from last week😀 This was listed last Monday…none other than Nemo & Dory Kawaii inspired beadwoven 3×7 Artwork!! I matted it and then framed it and it is ready for that special someone who is a fan of them to hang on their wall or put on a special shelf!! A special gift that will keep on giving and can be passed down for generations to come😉
After finishing up Flash last Tuesday afternoon, I had time to start my next New WIP😉 This time, I decided to do a 5×7 Art… Wall-E & Eva!! I started out with 5 rows (230 beads), and it was all background color but, by the time it was to wrap up the day, there was 10 rows (460 beads) and already Eva was taking shape! Then last Wednesday I came back to my bead tray with 20 rows (920 beads) and you could see a whole lot more!! After beading throughout that day, I ended up stopping at row 40 (1,840 beads) and Eva already had a hint of blush to her cheek! On last Thursday I started out at row 45(2,070 beads) and at that point you could see something starting to form on Eva’s band body. At the end of that day, I had 65 rows (2,990 beads) and Eva was almost finished…that heart on her body is just too cute!! Last Friday, I started my day off with row 75 (3,450 beads) and only had a little bit more to go to finish off Eva before o could move on to doing Wall-E 🙂 When I wrapped up last Friday Eva was done at row 95 (4,370 beads)…doesn’t she just look too cute with those blush stains on her cheek?! I did bead a little more on them over the past weekend but by this Monday, it was a rough start with having some problems with my car, so I was not able to post, however I did do a little bit of beading. When I came back to my bead tray this Tuesday, I had 145 rows (6,670 beads) and was about half-way through Wall-E. I beaded throughout the day…a little distracted about my car still (it was still in the shop) but at least they did give me a loaner. I was able to get to row 165 (7,590 beads). There is a little bit more to go with Wall-E being about 2/3’s of the way done🙂 Wednesday morning I started at row 180 (8,280 beads) and only the back of Wall-E’s head to go!! By the end of that day, I had the whole Wall-E & Eva Art completed with 198 rows (9,180 beads). Only thing left to do at that point was to get them framed and photographed!! Let’s take a look back at some of the working photos😉
Time to see another new listing!! Can you guess what it’ll be?!?! Did you guess that it was the Flash Bracelet?!?! YEP!! It is none other than the Kawaii inspired Flash peyote beadwoven bracelet😍 Sloth’s are just so cute…fun and flirty to wear any time of the year!!
Time for the current new WIP that I just started this Thursday…something fun and quick😉 It is a simple one that can be done without a pattern, and I am only using 3 colors!! I am making checkered blocks with this one…since there is no pattern, that means I don’t really have row or bead counts to follow on this one, however I did take pictures here and there of the working photos and will show you, my progress. It is such a simple and quick one that by the end of Thursday I was halfway done with it. Today I will be working more on it and if all goes well, I should be able to finish it by the end of the day so that way I can get something new started next week😉 REMEMBER, that you can check out my Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page throughout the day to watch updates and working photos! For now, here are some of the working photos!!
It’s that time again!! Time to do the Monthly Peyote Bracelet in a Box Kit!!! This is the Second kit being offered since after the New Year😃. It is of 3 beautiful spring flowers!! This is a 2 Drop peyote pattern and each kit will contain everything you need to create a Krafty Max Originally designed bracelet: A printed word chart In 2 drop peyote (a color chart can be requested and be sent digitally), a needle, All Delica beads, plated bar ends and findings. Kit dates are as follows: Available from March 9, 2022until April 9, 2022 and then Kits will be mailed on or by April 15, 2022. A little FYI about kits…The PATTERN is ONLY available with these kits!!After March 3rd these patterns/kits will no longer be Available!! Delica Bead colors are subject to availability!!
I would like to share with you all the fact that I do still have a few past available kits in my shop-a lot have sold out but there are still a few bracelet & art kits 😃. Anyways…let me show you the collage I have of what I believe I have left of the kits in my shop-you’ll find the link to that section under the photo😉 Some might already be gone-I have been seeing many grab up the last few kits-so click on the link to see what is still available😉😃😁!!
Last but not least, I have some updates and news from my K~Max Klub!! I have asked what type of bead-along they would like to next see and do and most of my members have answered that they would like something from the springtime. Well, I worked on and finished a beautiful springtime flower bracelet pattern that I will be posting bead color suggestions and the bead counts for it, this upcoming Monday and then getting the bead along kicked off as well😉 Did anyone get a chance to finish of the hanging hearts bead-along? If you did, share with us and even if you just got a start but didn’t finish you can share with us what you have so far. This is true for any and all past bead-a longs or even past kits and patterns you have gotten from me!! It is truly inspiring to me to see how everyone can create different variations of the same pattern just by choosing different colors and I am sure that is true for other too😉 Stay tuned for the upcoming springtime flower bead along!!
Well, that‘s a wrap for these past two weeks, but I will be back next week with lots more!! I have been in a sleepless craze lately which has led me to working on a whole bunch more of new patterns…if I can I am hoping to list some this upcoming week…so there will be that plus a bead along and new WIP’s to get to work on!! Stay tuned and keep an eye out this upcoming week for all the new things to happen😉 I hope everyone has had a wonderful and fun St. Patrick’s Day and hope that your weekend will be just as fun…I will hopefully be out at some of the local markets-so if you are in the area, come and see me!!
