Bulldoze Thru the Weekend.

Hiya everyone, I hope that you are all having the great non-winter weather like we are.  It was about 65 this weekend and it was awesome!  I spent time on Saturday doing beadwork and listening to podcasts and chillin out with the kids.

One of our cats also wanted my attention, ALL DAY!  What is up with that.  She just wanted me to hold her for 10 seconds then she jumped down.  Then a few minutes later she wanted me to hold her again, for 10 seconds! Yea she whined all day cuz I wouldn't keep holding her.  Well I hope that you are enjoying your weekend, good weather or not and whiny cat or not!

This week over at Every Inchie Monday the theme is Bulldozer and this was one i struggled with.  I tried a few different designs and none of them worked out the way I wanted.  But then I decided on a design that I like.  Hope you like it.  I used 2 colors of Delicas, this week was a simple design.


This week I decided to make a new necklace.  I used a lot of components in it.  I used a poly clay heart that I sadly can not remember where I got it from.  I also used some poly clay beads that were layered and then shaved to show the inside colors.  I used 4mm and 6mm green rounds.  There is also 2 sizes of spacer beads, a big ceramic focal bead and some pink Swarovski helix beads.


That is all for me this week.  I have a few things in the works that I worked on this weekend and will hopefully work on this week.  I will let you know soon about it.  Until then, don't forget to fly on over to EIM and check out the rest of the awesome art and think about joining in the fun, it is great to have a small bit of creative outlet and at the end of the year you have one big collage to show off all your creative en devours. Until next time, have a blessed and creative week my friends and thanks again for those who leave a comment, I appreciate it so much.

    1. Thanks Becca, I actually just started stringing last year, it is so foreign to me. But I always do things backwards. Start with the hard stuff then go to the easy. Lol. Have a great one and take care of you

  6. Not easy to do a bulldozer in beads, but you pulled it off! I love that heart on your necklace too! I wish my cat loved to cuddle. He is one of those independent ones :(
