My first Etsy Listing


Today I made my first Etsy listing. I made a necklace of pastel colured beads and strug it with leather. I call this necklace Mauve Madness. I am hoping to add more items to etsy and hope to make a sale so that I can buy more beads :D

I have been busy this past month taking sewing classes. Saturday was my last class. I am going to miss this class a lot.

So I have two hobbies now beading and Sewing. My first sewing project was making sleep wear. I liked the PJs I made but the tops well it is my first time. My next project is to make a nice pant and jacket. Let us see how it turns out.

I am also planning to make some eyeglass holders as my next beading project.

Introduction to Beading


I am a software consultant and I guess the left side of my brain has always been active. My poor right brain. She is so bored.

Then one day while visiting a friend I am fascinated by this beautiful necklace she was wearing. I found out that she made it herself. Of course I wanted to know how she did it.

A visit to the local bead shop, the local library and some internet research and I was beading. The right side of my brain is finally getting some activity. WOW!!

There is no turning back now. I made a couple of earrings and necklaces and I love it.
