peyote stitch patterns - Paris


We were sitting on a boat-restaurant, docked on the Seine River near one of the many bridges of Paris. The rain ended and we were graced with the beautiful rainbow.

peyote stitch patterns - Colors of Fall

Fall?.......

No one is sitting in the chairs on the beach today...it seems sad.  In reality, it's a beautiful day.  The sky is clear, the Gulf waves are gently rolling onto the shore, the sand is warm, and the sounds are of an occasional lawn mower, airplane, or child.  All of this is a sign that the summer season is coming to an end, school is back in session, and brisk days will arrive one morning unexpected...yet expected.

I see our "Lord of all creation...." every time I walk the beach

My next peyote stitch beaded bracelet pattern series, Colors of Fall, was inspired by a starfish.  Not actually a live one, but one I saw while at the beach.


Both patterns in the Colors of Fall series are available now in my Etsy store.  You can find
"Fingerpaint" Here, and you can find "Window View" Here.

Coming Soon to my Etsy store: three patterns in the Chromatic Color series

Check back often to either my Etsy store, or to this blog for updates related to my newly posted peyote stitch beaded bracelet patterns.

Thanks for stopping by... I'm walking the beach at sunrise this week....inspiring...

peyote stitch patterns - Austin Swing

My first sighting of the Austin icon was while exiting the Austin, TX airport.  Huge, colorful guitars stand like statues in an iron garden, greeting travelers from far and near.
I found myself searching for the icons throughout the city as I walked along the sidewalks and toured with the Austin Eats food tour (a MUST if you are in Austin!)

The first in a series of two, Austin Swing, is available now in my Etsy store.  You can find the pattern Here.

Update:  Austin Star is now available for sale in my Etsy store; you can find the pattern here.

peyote stitch patterns - Playful Pink Floral

San Diego was a refreshing, cool break from the stifling Memphis heat and humidity.  A slow trip through the Comic-Con 2011 Convention area, then across the Bay Bridge to Coronado Island, and I found myself lunching under an umbrella and gazing over the Pacific.

Hotel del Coronado


My next series of peyote stitch beaded bracelet patterns was inspired by the architecture in this beautiful hotel.

The first in a series of two, Playful Pink Floral, is available now in my Etsy store.  You can find the pattern Here.

Update:  Burgundy Floral, the second design in this series, is now available in my Etsy store; find the pattern Here.
