Although time for beading and jewelry making is so abundant during the winter months, it just seems to disappear in summer. Entertaining friends, maintaining the prairie, and weeding my herb garden really eats into those hours! I’ve been busy doing so many tasks that take me away from my beading passion! Having managed to squeeze in a modicum of beading time, I’m pleased to report that the ZigZag cuff and accompanying pattern that I’ve been working on for the past month are very near completion! I’ll be able to show it to you very soon!  My next project is already taking form mentally and I have been sorting through my stash of Delica beads. I think the next project will be in shades of blue and green…I can hardly wait!
