I’m going to pop in once in awhile but I’m having to focus on family during this hard time. Good luck to the monthly challenge. I did finish part of mine and sent to Linda. I don’t think I’ll be able to finish completing with bells and whistles at this time but I look forward to seeing what you wonderful ladies and gents do. Thank you

I bead while we travel ( my big beading board from Linda’s store is awesome 🤩 ) so I worked on some patterns I have wanted to try. The spirals are earrings (not sure if the pattern is the same as Rochelle’s) that worked up quick The bracelet also went fairly quick, and will be a gift for a friend.

I don’t know about you but I had a very hard time learning to read a beading picture pattern. So I saw this somete and want to share with you all. Print the picture twice. Cut the two first rows and also cut the squares every other square and place it in top of your pattern move it as you go down the rows and you will have an aid to read your pattern. I hope it easy to understand. Check pictures below.
