I sell them here, and just recently on bead-patterns.com If you have ever browsed through my patterns, you will see that a vast majority are of animals- they say you write what you know, so why not make bead patterns of creatures you find fascinating. I mean have you seen the documentary Planet Earth? Wow!
My favorite things beading:
Beaded Boxes, 3D- Items, certain panels or bags or just something I designed especially for me.
My favorite beads:
Delicas! Or other great beads that I find at Firemountaingems.
Finished my first beaded Box that was made from a pattern I had that I modified using Julia Pretl's instruction as a guideline to bead up. It's about the 8th box I have made now. They take a good amount of time to make, but are very worth it.
Anyway, It turned out really well, If I do say so myself, plan to make many more in the future, especially now that I know I can take many other patterns and do the same thing.
A lot of people think because My
web site is named Maddiethekat that I am Maddie. But the truth is my
site and design name is named after my adorable little, stick to me
like glue, cat Maddie. She just vies for attention, and as I am typing
this up right now on my laptop, she is sitting on me and part of my
computer, her head on the back of my left hand. She can get away with
things like that since she is small, and well cute.
The other
picture is of Adam, and when I originally typed this- he was, still
with us, but a couple months ago he became quite sick, and after
several visits to the vets- after watching him lose horrible amounts of
weight as he stopped eating, became blind and then stopped moving; he
passed away. We struggled with trying to save him, tried giving him
medicines, tried force feeding him, even sticking needles in him so
that he wouldn't become dehydrated. It was quite horrible actually. And
I think I will stop writing about it now. I don't know how many times I
have thanked God for out cats ongoing good health and such longs lives.
I am grateful for the time I had with him, and while I miss him, I most
definitely couldn't have let him suffer, and while I wish he was still
with us, I am actually somewhat relieved that we didn't have to come to
the decision of putting him down. I still see him sometimes, in his
usual places, but then I will look again, I will then realize it
was just an after image of memories tugging through my mind. We had him
over fourteen years, and I miss his gentleness and they way he would
paw you when he wanted attention, not to mention his tiny, almost non
existence meow.
Love you Adam. Goodbye.
I have a sister and a new niece, one cat who is going to be with me for a lot longer than she has already been, and parents who have the pleasure of having to put up with me. :) Actually they do like having me around. My niece Daye just turned one, is crawling and about ready to walk soon. She is very photogenic- like her mom, and I have never seen so many pictures around any household than I have seen of her. And lets not even talk about how many videos we have of her- My sister had to buy an external hard drive just to have room for it all. But she is her first baby, my first niece, and my parents first grandchild, so I believe we are allowed. Jesus certainly blessed us with her! But when God is she going to get some hair?
