As a life long fan of owls, I was delighted to find ground owls living near by..

I plan on stitching it on to a fabric to creat a charm or key chain that will hold up a bit better.. they can easily be made into earrings by adding a beaded hoop to the top of the head or metal ring.

used round size 11/0 seed beads and nymo beading thread

Lady Bugs Loom Bracelet

This is another item to check off my list of things I have wanted to make for ages now..
I have loved Lady bugs for as long as I can recall..

very simple chart, works up fast.. braided closure so super easy on that score as well ..

I use round ( size 11/0 ) beads, so the chart looks a little squared off..

I made the chart using a free download of Bead Tool 4.. I don't use the same colors as they have listed so I only use the color chart, not the number or names .. pick your favorite brand/type of beads and go for it..

Loom Beading Bone Heart Paw

.Pulled out my beading loom.. been really missing weaving but have no were I can set up my table top loom right now, besides I've gone and pulled out all of my beads over the last few weeks.. only thing I could do was start bead weaving lol

I had only made a couple of bead loom weavings in the past.. I jumped into straight stitch and brick stitch right away.. it offers a freedom that looming doesn't in exchange for speed.. I adore free form works.. yet I love working up charts.. easy answer made my own :)

I am relearning bead weaving skills as it had been close to a decade.. my charts will progress as I do.. I do plan on jumping around between crochet beading, crochet, knit and weaving.. playing it by ear each day.. so stay tuned to see what's next ;)

here is the chart .. I don't have counts of each color yet after I get all of that together I will offer a pdf on Esty..
made with size 11/0 seed beads of iffy quality as I am just getting restarted I thought I might as well use up some of my lesser beads until my skill warrants higher cost beads lol

Cherry Bossom Crochet Rope Bracelet

My first try at more detailed pattern.. I wanted to make one that didn't repeat the same thing over and over.. I went with cherry blossoms as they are in bloom all over town right now.. and one of my favorites for making everything from bracelets to fingerless gloves lol

I used size 11 seed beads for the white and pinks but switched to 12 for the black.. I knew the black would be over powering as it was going to be next to soft pinks so down sizing them would back it down a bit but it would also create more texture that would add to the over all look I was going for...

I love beads that are wonky.. different from each other.. I love the feel of them worked up.. makes each item truly one of a kind even when following a chart...

Used crochet thread size 20 and a 1.10mm hook

Got a chart maker.. still need to figure out how print or screen shot one, but in the meantime I will be happy with snapping a photo with my phone lol...
