Bead Trends Magazine - May 2011

I am so excited that my friend Erin Strother made the cover of this month's Bead Trends Magazine!  Congratulations Erin!


I have one project in this issue.  It is called "Crush".


The design was crafted using Sari Silk, Vintaj Natural Brass, vintage glass stone and glass beads.

 

I love the romantic feel of this necklace.

On another note....... many of you might be wondering where the heck I have been.  I have to tell you it has been one horrible year for my family.  I am thinking of the worst and praying for the best.  I am having a hard time even meeting my magazine deadlines.  So, I have kinda let my blog go by the wayside.  I am sorry about that.  I guess I just need to pull it together!  Thanks to all my followers for not leaving me.

    Oh, I am sorry to hear about the rough road you've been on. You are such an inspiration. When you're stuck in a pothole it's hard to see your way out but it'll get better. It has to!

    Peace - Kathy

    Hey, thanks for the shout out, D! I must have missed this blog entry when you posted it. Your crush necklace is so "you!" Super cool how you encased the pink stone.
    Hang in there, girlfriend.
