I entered the design contest over on the Vintaj blog, mine is number 14. Thanks so much ♥ Design Contest

With your help I won the challange at Vintaj. My two sample pack will be put to good use as I am making jewelry for my fall and Holiday shows. This summer has been very busy, good for us bad for blogging :) After this weekend things should slow down and I will be back on a regular basis. I have found a new passion in sewing, don't worry I still love beads!. I have always been interested in making my our clothes and since I really don't like the way things are make most of the time in stores. Aprons are first on the list, great for family dinners and gifts. Also some very cute little girl skirts out of old t-shirts! I will post some links and pictures. Hope you have had a great summer and enjoy the last weekend!

Sorry about the short notice, I was out of town without a computer last week. Could you please help me win a design contest at Vintaj Natural Brass. Thanks so much I am number 12 Vintaj Contest
