In a Creative Funk…

Good Morning Paper beading Friends!
Have you ever been in a creative funk? What do you do to recoup your creative juices? The above bracelet is all that I’ve been able to come up with lately…
I have been feeling less than creative for the last couple of weeks and when I feel this way, it’s hard for me to want to work on any crafting projects! I guess what’s going on around us effects our moods and in turn, our desires to get creative.
We’ve gotten my Mom thru her big move…Haven’t been feeling the best lately…Got a big ticket in the mail yesterday…Yes, I guess all of those things are effecting my desires!
If you are so inclined, I’d love to hear what motivates you when you get in that creative funk!
In the meantime, I am going to try to turn things around today and get something going! I’ll keep you posted! Until next time, Happy Beading!

Happy New Year!

Good Morning Paper Bead Friends and Happy New Year!
Hope you all had a safe and memorable New Year’s Eve! It was pretty quiet around our place but we did stay awake long enough to take our annual family selfie at the stroke of Midnight!!! Welcome 2015!
I have lots of wonderful thoughts and ideas for the new year…now all I have to do is get them down on paper and not lose sight of them!
One of the things I recently began to work on for my studio is a paper bead curtain! The time it will take is a bit discouraging, in between handling my Etsy Shop, but I am bound and determined to finish one for the door window in the studio. It will look similar to the one below only on a smaller, shorter scale! I think it will amazing! What do you think? Definitely an ongoing project!
What’s going on in your crafty world? Any New Year Resolutions? I’d love to hear about them!
Until next time, Happy Beading!

My New Paper Findings!

by thepaperbeadboutique

Well if you’re not already aware of this, Hobby Lobby is one of favorite stores to seek out new paper designs! They have such a wide variety, colors and textures! So much of it seems to change seasonally or at least from my perspective!

Yesterday, my daughter Caitlyn and I were out running errands and headed up to the Hobby Lobby to check out their paper selection! We found so any new designs that I can’t wait to work with!  Here is my new selection! What do you think? A couple for fall and for Christmas as well as a few everyday designs!

Don’t forget, you can custom order beads from my Etsy shop at  ThePaperBeadBoutique.etsy.com Image

Be looking for some new paper beads to be unveiled soon! Until then, Happy Beading!

Taking My Studio Time Outside!

by thepaperbeadboutique

Well here I am, on a beautiful day, enjoying my studio time outdoors! The clouds cleared and it’s been in the mid 70’s today so I grabbed my “anywhere” tray and my necessary supplies I needed (paper strips, bead roller, mod podge, gloves and paintbrush) to do my paper beading outside! So nice to have a side deck just for days like this! Hard to see the colors here in these beads! One is in greens, blues & white (beachy colors) and the other is a beautiful mosaic looking color combo! They will be beautiful when complete! Be looking for them in my Etsy shop at ThePaperBeadBoutique.etsy.com! Until next time, Happy Beading!
