It would have been rude not to

Jaq from A String of Beads made a bead and called it Beth. It is so lovely and it is now mine. Well I had to didn't I?

The description says

One of a kind transparent/pink glass bead with hints of lilac and pale blue

I can't wait to see it.

Dom wearing Domino

I took this photo of Dom last night wearing his bead that he got for his birthday. He loved wearing it and it really suited him. I'm thinking about him having some silver ones to go with it.

New sub-forum at NPLH

As I love all my beads so much and I like to talk about them so I have set up a sub-forum on No place Like Home to chat about them. If anyone would like to join me then please do. I look forward to getting to know you.

New bead and wish lish

I've got The Blues, the Dolly bead that is. A friend had brought it the other night but when she got it it didn't match the beads she already has so she has sold it to me. I'm so pleased and i should have it tomorrow. It's going to look fab with Purple Velvet.












Here are two silver Troll beads that are on my wish list. This first one is Mocha, this is for my love of coffee and namely starbucks coffee.
This second one is the letter B and it stands for my name.
I have a few others that i want as well. There is a Snake, thats because i was born in the year of the snake.
I want an Aeries one because thats for the month i was born in.
I could go on but i won't. I'm loving all these beads.

Flowers for mothers day

I was a very lucky mummy on Sunday and i got lots of flowers. I got these lovely tulips and this hydrangea silver troll bead from Dom (with help from his granny, thank you mother I love you lots). We went out to lunch and all the mums got given Orchids and this is mine. I just love it and it is next to my bed.
Sunday was a nice day. Dom woke me up with a card that he had made at school and then we got up and got ready to go out. We had to meet the family at the photographers to have a photo taken for mothers birthday (had to be now as we were all together for once). We got a few taken of us all. I have ordered one of just me and Dom which i think looks nice. Will be a while before we get them. I'm looking forward to it.

Buddy bead

Dom is getting a bead for his birthday. This is a Buddie Bead from Mango beads. He just fell in love with it and hes really looking forward to getting it. He's going to wear it on a leather tong around his neck. I will have to make sure that he can't take it off and lose it. Enjoy it baby.

Dollies

Yet more Dollies were loaded onto A Sting of Beads. I managed to get Cinder Toffee which you can see here and it is so lush. Jaq gets better and better with each batch.

The second Dolly here is The Blues which I just love but was too slow to get it. There was one last week so when i saw it this week I just knew that it was right as the bead for Dom on the bracelet. I'm going to place a special order for it in a week or so. I think it will look lovely sat next to Purple Velvet.
Roll on my birthday so they will all be on their own bracelet and on my wrist. They are going to look so good.

My Dollies

Here are all my dollies in a line. Don't they look good together? They need some silver ones to go with them. My braclet is going to look fab

More Dolly Beads

Jaq uploaded more Dollies tonight on A String of Beads.
I was lucky to get these two Purple Velvet and Carolyn. Carolyn is a bead made especially for mothers day so quite a few were made. Purple velvet is a one off as normal. I do have to say that these are for my birthday next month. Mother will be looking after them till then for me.

Lush

Don't they look good together?
Tortie and Marmalade Sky.

Dolly Beads

Jaq has uploaded more beads to her shop A String of Beads. They are so lush and she is getting better with them all the time. With my left over Christmas money I got this beauty called Marmalade Sky. This is so the colours of my fur babies Zoysha and Magic and a reminder of their beautiful mum Kira.

Here are my girls. Don't you think it matches them? I'm really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. Mother will be wearing it till I get my bracelet for my birthday.

Bracelet

I've been looking at lots of different sites for silver beads to go on the bracelet I'm planning to have. At the moment I have my eye on these three. They are Aries for me. Pieces for dom and the mother and child for our family unit. I do love silver.
This bracelet is going to look lovely. I know that it will take awhile and that can be a good thing as it will mean so much more.
At least with this I can just tell people this is what I want without having to think about it. So for Mothers Day, Easter, my birthday and Christmas I will hopefully got lush new beads to wear.


Mother got a bracelet for Christmas and is already wearing hers lots. At the moment she has a Troll Bead and 2 Dollies, I think there is a silver one as well. I know that she wants them all to have meaning. From now on she'll be easy to buy for (not that i had a problem, that was the rest of the family).

Dolly Beads and Troll beads

If you look at alot of scrappers they all seem to have Troll Beads. They are very popular at the moment and you can buy them in lots of places. Alot of the are lovely but they are made on a large scale.

I have a friend called Jaq who makes the most wonderful unique beads called Dolly Beads. Jaq's website A String of Beads is so lovely and is getting very popular.
This is the bead that i have just ordered. I just love the colours and i can't wait to see it in real life.









I just now need a bracelet to go with it. I've have a look at the sites and i just love this lock, its called the Lacelock. Don't you think it's lovely? It will go on this chain.
This is what i hope to get for my 30th in April. Well it is an important birthday.
