No more Beads

The end of an era brings exciting new beginnings! I've cleared the page of all my beading items, and my Granddaughter and Daughter are thrilled to have my remaining beads. Now, I can wholeheartedly dive into the paper crafts that I've absolutely fallen in love with! I am excited to embrace a new phase in life and have decided to simplify things by letting go of my bead surplus instead of spending time inventorying and selling them online....

Butterfly & Coneflower Tutorial

I finally finished the tutorial after 3 attempts and several technical difficulties. Man, I had a hard time with this video, but it turned out amazing! So, the video shows you how to make a butterfly and a flower using 5mm wide paper, but after I finished the butterfly, I realized I actually liked the 3mm paper better for it. I grabbed a spare butterfly I had lying around to pair with the coneflower. The instructions all stayed the same; it’s just a different paper width. Now, onto the next project!

Argg, I need to work on my recording skills. Went to edit the tutorial for the butterfly/coneflowe and there is no sound. My sound file is gone.....so I guess I have to make another video and this time I need to have no interuptions, between the dogs, the cat and the husband I need like 2 hours to just do the video. So back to the drawing board. But hopefully I will have something up on youtube by Monday.
