Few More Pincushions

I had scraps of natural linen fabric - too small to make something wearable, and I decided to continue the theme with pincushions and add some lace to brighten them up.. few beads as well - I think they make perfect gift for someone who loves sewing and needlework.

Scarlett Corset Story

Some time ago my teammate from Latvian unofficial beaders club žagatasbode Sandija involved me in some very interesting project- She wanted to make bead embroidery on corset. Choice of color was stunning - bright red, as bright as her talent is.. So we started.. and after two months here is the result - corset fit to the princess, spoled girl or fragile lady.

Sandija is a blogger to, You can visit her blog and see her beautiful beadworks here: http://sandijastreinerte.blogspot.com/

Treasuries Of The Week

White light by CocoBeans

all 4 you mom by theBeadAerie

I wasn't sure about those pincushions, but in the first week they made up to FP.

Thank You Ladies! It is so great!

To Bead Or Not To Bead...

I have very much doubts lately about my etsy shop and beaded things in it.. probably it's up to bad economics, but the tiredness is so obvious. I just can't bead when my head is bumping around with stupid news on tv, screaming politicians and so on.. Have some stunning custom projects, that are gonna be finished soon. And as a relax therapy for myself made some pincushion from linen. Some beads jumped on it as well, so I guess, not everything is lost. Just have to take some timeaut ..

I Can Crochet Too

Was in the mood of creating something romantic, simple, different and not beadwoven.
My daughter was so kind to be a model for this small handbag fit for little princesses and stylish party animals.

If You are tempted by this..
..know that romance is still alive in your heart !
