Hi All,

Have had a Super Busy week this last week!! I spent 5 days this week roaming around the country to attend my Mum's 60th Surprise Birthday party!! :) It turned out awesome and she really enjoyed it so that was fantastic!!

This is my mum, Sister, Nephew and daughter.
The good thing is It was actually sunny down there so we got to soak up some vitamin D and get away from the rain and flooding for a few days!! :)

I did actually finish my collar for the EBEG fest before I left!! It seemed to take forever in the last few days, and I don't know if that was because I was too busy or I just lost enthusiasm for the project!!! It turned out better than I thought it would and hopefully this collar will be the first of many!! :)

"Midnight Fantasies" ended up having over 300 crystal pearls and several thousand seed beads in it but it was worth it!! :)

I also "threw together" my entry for the ebw february challenge "NEST".

I named it "spring fling" as it reminded me of Beautiful Spring days, birds chirping, blue skies, and flowers growing in the garden!! I got the gorgeous focal from Natalie from Peruzi.net She does beautiful work and I'm the proud owner of several of her Cabs!!

Voting for this is between the 9th and the 15th at http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com so I hope you will all vote for your favourite item!!




Until next time, Beady hugs
