Witch Silhouette Cuff


This Witch Silhouette Cuff bracelet pattern is 2.5" wide and 7" long when finished. If you need extra length, you can add rows at either end. I'm thinking a frosted transparent orange for the background. Pattern created on BeadCreatorPro

Headless Horseman - Two Drop Peyote


Here's a pattern for a cuff bracelet - 3 inches wide x 5 3/4 inches long. You can add length by adding extra rows on either side. Make it narrower by working with 15/0's instead of 11/s.
Add more color by making the moon shades of yellow. Two drop peyote works up fast. Have fun with it.

Sunflower Cuff Bracelet Pattern


Here's a pattern for a Sunflower Cuff Bracelet. Done in peyote stitch. It measure just under 2" wide and 7.37" length. You can adjust length by adding or subtracting rows. I left the background blank so you can choose your favorite color for that. Maybe another shade of green, golden yellow or even orange. I'm thinking of this as just the background. Maybe embellish the sunflowers with some dagger beads and a few golden and topaz beads embellishing the centers. Let your imagination run wild. If you have trouble viewing this one, press Ctrl and + keys to enlarge.

Flag Charts



Here's a couple little charts for July 4th. You can change the size of the flags by using smaller or larger beads. 15/0's would make a great size for earrings with the diamond shaped pattern.
Add some tassels with silver stars. Patterns created on BeadCreatorPro

Here it comes!!





Yes! Spring is finally arriving! Remember these photos from March 23? Here is the backyard today. I filled and hung the hummingbird feeder out on Thurs and Fri afternoon, the first hummer arrived. We've been busy cleaning up the yard, raking leaves left from the fall, putting out outdoor furniture and decorations. Still a lot to do, but we enjoy being outside and doing a little each day.
