Saturday - the beginning of the weekend!

Time flies, doesn't it? Just the other day I said Hi to Monday, and now its a couple of weeks later and here I'm again saying Hi to Saturday!

I've been a very busy beader this past couple of weeks, completed a number of small items for my shop and the upcoming Winters' Market in a week's time - decided enough "small bead talk" and started on 2 new collars, monochromatic white and monochromatic black. 

Here are pictures of some of my latest jewelry pieces, please visit my Online Shop and My Etsy Shop on www.connique.com -

Time Flies!


Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

So many ideas and items, so little time to make them!  Don't know where the time went, I've been beading, designing, updating my website, hardly had time to take care of my blog.

Here are a few of my latest designs, hope you enjoy them, as always the items are listed either on my website or on my Etsy Shop, both tabs can be found on my website, www.connique.com

1st Bead Embroidery Class

I did it! Another dream come true - but then again, so many of my dreams have come true!

Three ladies attended my 1st Bead Embroidery class yesterday, they were all beginners and very new to bead embroidery. What fun we had! I did all my prep beforehand, and really enjoyed teaching them what I already know and have learned over the year - the numerous videos I downloaded and watched, the more than I can remember files I downloaded and study, and then my own personal experience that added value really paid off for not only me, but for my students as well. 

They beaded a very simple pendant consisting of a Jasper Cabochon from Upington here in  South Africa, size 8/0 and size 11/0 seed beads. A simple black leather rope finished off the pendant, and they all went home with their pendants around their necks - 3 very happy and satisfied customers!
