Bead Table Wednesday - More on my table today, I mean yesterday, well you know what I mean!








She started it!
Heather Powers, I mean.
She started it!
What did she start?
Bead Table Wednesday!
What's on your bead table on Wednesday?
Since I usually write my blog the day before,
I'll just have to show you what was on my bead table yesterday.

Let's start with these beads.
I have been needing to sort these beads for a long time.
Pile #1: Beads for Beads of Courage
Pile #2: Beads to keep for give away and jewelry making.
Pile #3: Throw away.
This was my unsorted pile.
Now, I have beads for BOC, for me, and the garbage collection grew!

It's that pile of fabric, ribbons, organza, thread, needles, scissors, felt.
Since I am getting ready for a show this month,
I set the goal of 15 corsages
for the show.
I am proud to say,
I now have reached that goal!
The color really helped to boost my mood.

I, personally think, that these will be scattered all over my table to add some much needed color!
They are so much fun!
I absolutely love them!
They will be fun to wear!
I plan to wear one on the day of the show!
How fun!

So, that's what was on my bead table yesterday.
What's on yours today?

Bead Table Wednesday

Well, it's Wednesday again,
and time for
Bead Table Wednesday!
Remember,
Heather Powers started it!

Now, this is what my bead table looked like yesterday.
(I am writing this yesterday!)

I worked with fire.
I stamped.
I made (Gasp!) jewelry!
It was a busy day.
It was a good day!
Maybe, next week, I'll have more to show for my efforts!

Would you like to see some beads now?
Check out my Etsy store.
They are there.
A fossil bead.

Sugar Bead Bead Pins.

Cancer Sucks!

Next week, there will be more.

Bead Table Wednesday






Heather Powers of Humble Beads
started Bead Table Wednesday on her blog.
Click here to visit her blog.
The idea is to show your bead table on that day, no matter what it looks like.
Well,
I didn't show my bead table for the first couple of weeks because
IT LOOKED SO BAD!
I'm not talking about my table where I make jewelry,
I was thinking of showing my work table where I make lampwork beads.
That is in much better shape now,
but I won't be showing that table this week.
I will be showing what I have been working on this week.
Now, when you see the photo,
and for those of you who don't know,
in the dreary, dark, cold winters here,
I work on my bed.
That means it always has to be cleaned up,
so it doesn't look so bad.
In the summers I work outside,
and,
again, that means, I have to clean up when I am finished.
Back to the order of business here.
When you see what I have been working on this week, you will probably say,
"Doesn't look like she's done much."
Well, you are wrong.
I have been pondering.
I have been thinking.
I have been moving things around.
I have been working, and, I have accomplished more than you think.
First of all,
here I am, pondering.

See, I really have been pondering.
Now here's what I have been working on mentally, of course.


This is my Bead Soup Mix from Cindy Dolezeal.
Click here to take a look at her Etsy store.
Great stuff, right?
Well, I absolutely love what she sent me!
That leaf pendant is to die for, and if anyone things they are getting this from me,
well,
they will have to pry it out of my dying hands to get it.
Anyway,
I digress.
I want to show the pendant to be as beautiful as it truly is,
and,
I don't want anyone to be distracted from its beauty.
So,
right now,
I'm stuck.
I must ponder more.
Maybe, next week, there will be a sneak preview?
I'm not sure.
I must ponder.
