800

My shop has reached 800 hearts today!
Thank you to all of you!

I've played with my new tool today - curved
mandrel. I really love the result and would like
to show you, but I couldn't take it off the
mandrel *sigh* Right now the bead (on the
mandrel of course) is in the fridge. Hope, I can
took it off then.

I've listed one of my fave trifiori today - sweet
dreams. The sizes of the three flowers are all
different from each other - it makes them more
"alive".
This photo was my son's and my own first choice
for the first photo actually, but as I've listed it,
it looked so dark, that one could hardly see, what
it is. So, I've changed to another one. But I really
love the mood of this photo - like a coming storm :)

calm spring

It has been raining all day long and also windy.
I love rain, but don't like wind at all - except
on hot days. I remember, once I went home
from my Balinese dance course on a heavy
rainy day, as I was about 7 y.o. Of course
I got very wet. So, my mom sent me to
go under the shower. After that I sat in the
reception room (it's quite usual there to have
a room to meet guests), playing with my doll
and listening to the sound of the rain and the
thunder. I will never forget that feeling.
I think, it's one of the reason, why I love
rain and thunder.

My new necklace: calm spring.

sneak a peek

I've made some new flower beads this morning.
I've also finished mixing a color, which I've started
as I was running out gas on Sunday.
I have to inspect them all later under the daylight
and decide, either to make them into necklaces.

sneak peek

Yayy! It's finally not so cold anymore, that I've
managed to make some beads on Saturday.
But as I wanted to make some more on Sunday,
I was running out of gas!!! Hopefully I get the car
later today (my ex and I shared the car), so that
I can buy a new one.



So I could only make one new trifiori necklace.
It's a similar one as my citrus sorbet.
Only the leaf has a different color - I've chosen
lime green, as it's the color of spring for me :)
I have to take more photos later today, so
that I can list it in the afternoon or evening.

It feels so good to make glass beads again :)

you make my day

I've got the "you make my day"
award from Ale aka Ixela a few
days ago (maybe even weeks -
slow me!!) and from Suse aka
Revoluzzza before. Thank you!!

It's hard to choose 5 blogs to pass this award on.
Actually I'd love to pass this back on to Ale and
Suse. Ale makes the most beautiful collages of
photos of items, as she features other Etsy sellers
in her blog, and she is a lovely friend, who has
helped me in building the EST-Googlemap. Her
jewelry are beautiful and sometimes cute :) Look
at her shop or more in her gallery on Flickr.
And if you don't know Suse yet, I've written a bit
about her here. Yes, you do make my day, Ale & Suse!

But ok, not to make it into a ping pong game, I've
chosen 5 more blogs to pass the award on (even
though I'd like to pass this to more people on -
far more people make my day than just 5):

1. To my dear friends on Etsy, who make my
day in one and another way again and again.
Thank you, girls!!
Ira aka Iragrant, Renate aka Kreativlink,
Mitsy aka Artmind and Alisa aka Treasurefield.

2. To moonstitches, who always makes
my day with her photos and blog posts, whenever
I see/read it. I've found her gallery on Flickr
and went to read her blog. Her blog was the very
first blog, that I've read! Thanks, Alex!

Have a lovely new week, you all! *hugs*
