Wanted more hours in a day

My paper crafts finally arrived. Yesterday it was all about them. Unpacking, organizing and finding a place for all my stuff took me half a day. It was good because is something I like to do, it was not so good because it cut into my time of painting beads. Today it will be all about beads; and tomorrow also, and the day after that. Hope my papers and embellishments won't be too upset about this neglect they had to endure since the beginning of June. Until I will finally get time to scrapbook, here are some more Moon Beans that just want to be pretty and smile for the camera.

Meet Victoria Rose and Five bean chilly waiting to become bracelets and then set sail to see a friend in the US.

Holidays and days off

Yes, the packages that should have been here on the fifteen are not here. Yet. No big deal, it was a holiday in this country. And since Thursday was off, why not let people have Friday off too since the weekend was just another day away.
More time for me to practice my new learned hobby. Here there are some patterns I though looked cute on beads. From left to right resting in some jewelry boxes are the Tracy pattern, the "love you to the moon" and my first ever Lovely clouds.

Some green beads at my mom request. This patter is called Daisy. This small batch will become a bracelet for one of the ladies from my church group. There are about twelve lovely ladies in this group so expect eleven more patterns in the next three weeks. 

On one of the beads I wrote "Moon Bean" but more abut that in my next post.

Impatient

Being patient is a good thing. But sometimes not being patient is just as good. My scrapbook supplies and papers are still on the road and my mind and hands need something to do.
Luckily, one of my crafty friends came to rescue me from death by boredom. She made the beautiful clay bead earrings you see in the background. She is not only talented but also patient enough to teach me how to make these beads.
One day, last week, we shopped for the clay. Latter that day I made my first beads. This evening I decided that the first batch was dry. The lack of paints, varnish and hardware supplies did not stopped me from trying my hand at decorating. I used some washi tape, glossy accents and some copper wire to dress up my first ever bead. I named it Lovely clouds. It had pink hearts and white clouds on a pale teal background. 

Now I hope I'll have patience to decorate enough for a whole necklace.
