I love Swaps

Carolyn at http://fabshabbyroses.blogspot.com/ and I did a supply swap. She sent a 5x5x5 box packed full of mini supplies. And she sent me one of her handmade leather purses. I love it.


I really like doing supply swaps because I like to see all the little things that other people collect to make minis.

Wanna Trade?

I've got a huge load of micro glass hole-less beads to trade

These are all the colors I have in the .5mm tiny beads

These range in size from .8mm on the left to 2.5mm on the right

I've also got these 5 unopened containers

If anyone wants to trade just let me know which colors and sizes you would like and what you have to trade. I'm open to all sorts of trades. I'm always interested in getting new supplies. I hope ya'll will help me clear out my supply of extra micro glass hole less beads.

Makin Grapes

I started feeling a little better over the weekend. I'm still coughing a lot so working with feathers is out of the question. I had an urge to work on grapes. I've been playing around with different sizes and colors. I just use regular acrylic paint to color the beads before gluing. I used reindeer moss for the stems.

Years ago I ordered a Kimberly House kit Grape Vineyard off eBay but what I received turned out to be a Kimberly House Christmas tree kit in a Vineyard box. I contacted the seller and she refunded my money and told me to keep the Christmas tree kit for the trouble. She was very nice. I would still love to have the Vineyard kit but I've given up on using EBay. I always get outbid in the last 5 seconds



I just love hole less beads. I buy every color and size I can find. I weighed out 6 gram packs of beads to trade so if anyone needs hole less beads let me know. I love trading supplies.
This is just the portion of my supply I use. I've got a tackle box full to trade.
