I Need to Make Something With This


Here is just one more thing I brought home from CHA. If you missed my posts, I was at the Craft and Hobby show in California all last week.
Doveen, the owner/designer of Dove of The East presented me with this sample ring of all her ribbons. I have been selling Dove of The East in my online store since the first time she released her items at CHA several years ago.
Her ribbons are spectacular! Just when I have told everyone I know not to let me buy anymore ribbons.....I get this set to choose from! I would like to wear this as a necklace though. I'm going to make sure these samples turn into something great too!

It sure was a big week for everyone. Here are my beading links!

Is it too early to "think spring" or will that make it get here faster? Lisa used her Soft Flex Trios in an attempt to hurry spring along.
Are you ready to load up on some Valentine's jewelry tutorials? Are you even making jewelry for this holiday?
Meet the pretty girl with lots of brains plus a whole lotta soul!
After a week at CHA Carmi chooses the sweater surgery necklace as her favorite event.
Instead of biting her fingernails down to the nub, Cindy makes Grunge Beads!
Melanie looks to the skies for the inspiration for some new cloud carvings
Jean met up with two very cool artists this week: Gorgeous wool designs (including wool beads!); wonderful women.
Cyndi is so happy that the third year of the Bead Journal Project has started. This year, she's making a bead embroidered bracelet for each month of the project.

Looks perfect for key fobs...you add the key ring and then on the ribbon you can add a pendant or charm of some kind.

I have just totally inadvertently created my own Jackson Pollock on your sidebar. My mouse slipped over into the space while I was admiring your ribbons post and I could NOT for the life of me figure out what was going on. In an effort to escape, I clicked the mouse and changed the colours. Thanks for blowing my mind first thing in the Belgium morning!
