When I fist saw this tutorial on YouTube on how to make beaded crochet rope bracelets, I was OBSESSED. Truth be told, that's how it usually starts for me. I see a craft and I HAVE to try it. HAVE TO. I'm a hot mess like that. After a few fiddly starts, I finally got the hang of it. Thankfully, it's just a simple crochet slip stitch, but with beads. These are so much fun to make and Fusion Beads has a HUGE selection of colors to choose from. If you're into bead work, jewelry making, or just want to try a new craft, I highly recommend you check them out.

I'm later than usual on this, but depression robbed me of my weekend. Really like the clean and simple way this turned out. Fall with a subdued color palette. Drug out some oldies, but goodies for this one. Since it's made of mostly die cuts, it was super fast and easy. Really happy with it. Also, finally excavated part of my sewing table to make a photo spot. What do you think? Do you like it better than my usual set up? I'll probably get some more interesting backgrounds in the future, but this is what I have for now.
