Every week I share what I have been working on. Come take a look at what's on my bead board this week.

I've been away from the blog for far too long. But I have been a busy girl, that is for sure, and I have a lot to share with you.

In February I took a big leap and I left the lab. I have been working in one lab or another for the past 16 years. I've really never know life without it. But I decided it was time for a less physically demanding job, so I moved over to the regulatory side of research. But since I've left, I feel like I've been missing some of the lab life. So I've channeled that energy into my newest patterns. 

I created a whole line of different science themed patterns. It's my little way of staying connected to the lab. What do you think of them? Aren't they the cutest little things?

What have you been working on. I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and tell me what's on your bead board.

Love it or hate it, today is Valentine's Day. I've been working on a bunch of new patterns for my shop. I have also been a few new ideas, like tea light covers. I'm thinking about adding some to my shop, so make sure to check back in and tell me what you think.

It's been quite some time since I last did one of these. Life got a little crazy at the end of last year. I am finally back to a normal schedule, so these will be happening more often. 

I have been working on a bunch of brick stitch projects. I have been having so much fun designing these and have been coming up with so many awesome designs. 

Because it's almost Valentine's day, I've been working a some sweet projects that you can make for all your loved ones. Like this cute beaded heart. They would make a cute pendent or even earrings.

I have been working with my daughter to create some beady goodies that are all her own. She drew some pictures of a few monsters and I transformed them into little charms. She was very specific about all the details and absolutely loves the end results. 

I had so much fun working with her one these and I think they turned out so cute. I was thinking about adding them to the shop as patterns so everyone can make their own little monsters. 

What do you think? Should I add these little guys to my patterns shop? Or would you love to see them as finished pieces you can buy? Let me know in the comments below.

I am still busily working on my Halloween patterns. I have a bunch of these little earring patterns done and I am still thinking up more to add to this collection.

What other spooky characters should I add to this collection? 

What are you working on right now? I'd love to hear from you.

I just got back from my first break in about a year and a half. My family and I rented a small cabin and spent the week enjoying the outdoors, swimming, and just enjoying our time together. It was very relaxing and felt so good. 

I didn't bring my beads with me on vacation (I wish I would have), but I did get a bunch of beading done when I got home. I put the finishing touches on my new Halloween patterns and am slowly getting them listed in my shop. You can find the little ghost pendent HERE. The earrings will be up soon (as soon as I finish writing up the instructions for the fringe). 

What projects are you working on right now? I'd love to hear about it. Just leave a quick comment below.

So I'm still on the large earring kick. I now have four pairs for these bad boys that I wear all the time. I am still not going out and mingling with people, but I have started dressing up at home (I don't wear work out clothes every single day). And what better way to finish off an outfit, then with a pair of amazing earrings. 

And of course I need them in every color, which means I've been raiding my vintage seed bead collection for some of the most beautiful colors. Mmmmmmm, I do love vintage beads. 

I'm sure I will be making even more of these. I mean who could resist. I'm even thinking about putting them up in my shop. What do you guys think? Would you like to see some of these in the shop? Let me know in the comments what your thoughts are on these beauties.

I had to take a break from my big project. Let's just say I had an unfortunate series of events happen which made me have to take a step back. I think I have the logistics of it figured out now, so I'll probably start working on it again soon. 

In the mean time, I've been working on some long earring for myself. I haven't made a pair of these in years and I almost forgot how much I love them. So now I'm making a pair for myself in every color combo. I really love how I can make a pair in just an hour or so. Nothing like instant gratification.

I've made a little bit more progress on my secret project. The base is all done and I've started working on all the extras. 

I didn't get a lot of time to work on this project last week, but I'm hoping to get more time this week. Check in next week to see how much progress I actually make.  And if you'd like to see even more progress shots, check out my Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. ​
