Progress (And Lack Thereof)


I had so hoped to finish this piece before Labor Day weekend, and it's so very clear to me now that it's just not going to get done. Argh. Artbeads.com has such a beautiful selection of colors in Swarovski crystal. I thought I'd at least show off what I acquired and what I'm working on before I head off for my holiday. The piece WILL be finished next week. I intend to let the Short One run his grandparents ragged while I sit in the corner and bead. It's my proposed strategy at least.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

ADDENDUM: I just found out that Artbeads.com is offering a 20% off coupon valid over Labor Day Weekend. There are requirements: a $60.00 minimum purchase and you have to sign up for their newsletter. However, the coupon code is good for anything in the store. Like their beautiful hand-painted Russian pendants, for example (drool, drool). Go here if you are interested in signing up for the newsletter.

i love artbeads.com... and when you know what the swarovski colors really look like (because sometimes the monitors mess that up) no one beats their selection... i have tons and they are so beautiful to look at! good luck getting your time, it's tough with little people!

That piece looks yummy! I love the bright colors...and I will go check out Artbeads...I missed their last sale by a day and my cart got cleared out before I could hit order...and there were like 95 things in there at the end and it would be way too hard to try to recreate...and those Russian pendants are something I keep hovering over!
Enjoy the holiday!

P.S. good plan with the SO...isn't that why God made grandparents!?
