Our Etsy Bead Embroidery Guild is underway with our third Bead Fest which is due by June 30th. The theme is "Fairytales, Folklore, and Fantasy". So all these weeks I've been working diligently to complete my entry which I finished yesterday. So I thought I'd put some photograph's of my entry on my blog and the steps that I took to complete. I apologize that some of the pics are fussy. They looked good to me on my digital screen but once I downloaded them and saw them on my computer screen, I realized they're not to my satisfaction. - First you need to put your idea's down on a paper template. 

Check-out the "Colorway" series at Eva's blog:

While hubby was putting the finishing touches on our taxes there was yardwork waiting for me that needed to be done. I've spent the last 5 days fertilizing, weeding, and planting grass seed. Since we're not here in the summer, there's no one here to water. Needless to say, patches of grass die in the neglect and weeds find new homes in my yard. I have to manually water twice a day as our sprinkler system is down right now waiting for needed repairs.Please PRAY for RAIN or do a rain dance. (smile) And since I was on my feet for many hours, it stressed out my other foot, so I'm now back in a walking cast again! Ugh! It's always something, isn't it? LOL - It's my wish that everyone have a wonderful summer! Hugs! - Catherine
