I have a confession...



Remember the last giveaway... the beaded ornament with a Snowman on the front? Well I am embarrassed to say that after I made the original post to give it away, I could not find the ornament. I searched high and low - every where the cats just might have stashed it in the off chance they actually got a hold of it. I still could not find it. At that point I was searching my memory... did I give it away already? Did I hide it so well that I just could not find it?

Rather than stress out about it too much, I thought I would just start on another one, hoping the original ornament would turn up. Thankfully I had a couple of extra snowman cabs and quite a bit of time on my hands since I took a few days off work for the holidays.

I confessed to Helene earlier today and she was so gracious about it. I am hoping it turns up at some point or I figure out what I did with it.

I must say - I do enjoy beading these up. The bezel is even count peyote stitch and the outside is a twisted edge as found in Beading with Cabochons by Jamie Cloud Eakin

Well, Grace, to be quite honest, when I entered the gieveaway I felt slight ly guilty to take the ornament off your hands - I thougt maybe you would like to keep your first beading efforts (I'm very sentimental sometimes)... So when you said you misplaced it I thought it was another trick from my friend Coyote again :o)

Anyways both ornaments are lovely, and I'll let you know as soon as it comes through the post !

Hugs

Oh Hélène - no sentimental issues with my first beaded ornament - I promise you. I never give away anything that will leave me feeling the slightest bit of remorse or regret. I enjoy it immensely!
