Spiral Icicle Pattern

 I found the below spiral icicle pattern (click HERE) that is very similar to the discontinued Bead's Knees' crystal icicle ornament pattern I used in the photo above (click HERE).  I will be making some of these for the holidays.

Beaded Spiderweb Bracelet

 I've had this spider pin for 20 years.  And now it has a new home on the beaded netted bracelet I made from the free tutorial Fusion Beads has on its website.  You can find it HERE.

 I made a loop and button closure and sewed the spider on.   Now, I'm in the Halloween mood.

Ladybug, Ladybug……...

 More summertime bead crochet; sweet little ladybugs, yellow flowers and green grass.

 I found the pattern on the internet, but could not find the author.  I used a #7 crochet hook, Tuff Cord #2 and size 8/0 Japanese round seed beads

Watermelon Pattern

To download the pattern, right click on the above photo and choose "download".

It took me four times to see the rhythm of the zig zag pattern.  I feel funny saying that because it is probably apparent to anyone else, but for me it was trial and error.  Anyway, it is a fun pattern for summer and I hope you enjoy it.

Icicles In June

The Beads Knees Spiral Icicle pattern (click HERE)

 I made these to hang on my  dining room chandelier (above), but they sure make a statement as a necklace.  Yes, you could adjust the pattern for shorter icicles for earrings or a pendant.  Get creative and stay cool in this summer heat by making beaded icicles.

Bead Loom Hatband

 I've always wanted a loomed hatband.  For my first one, mistakes and all, I love it.  The pattern is from Craftspeople.info (click HERE).  Craftspeople.info website has many beautiful free loom patterns.

Beading Loom

A good friend lent me her beading loom.  Oh, it is so much fun… thank you Miss Dara.  Above was a practice piece before I started the hatband.  I'm halfway through with the hatband and am really enjoying this.  This loom is called Ricks Beading Loom.  The advantage of this loom is you only have 2 threads to weave in when you are finished.  You can Google "Ricks Beading Loom" for various places to purchase it.  The above free pattern is from Craftspeople (click HERE). You can find many loom patterns on my Pinterest site for loom patterns (click HERE).
