Hi everyone!

I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day and also finally post a pic of new dreads :) I was supposed to have green dreads (and, oh, it's the most gorgeous wool!) but I couldn't quite get all the pink out of my hair so I put in the Easter dreads early. I've had a ridiculous amount of compliments on the colour but, truthfully, I'm not diggin' it. I just don't think I like too-bright, neon-y colours and these really are over the line. They're certainly cheerful though!

Anyway, back to St. Patrick's Day! I LOVE St. Patrick's Day. It's so much fun to get all decked out in my green accessories. I decorate the house too! I have tons of beautiful decorations from the wonderful, beautiful, terribly talented Shelley of Prairie Cottage Rose. She makes fantastic runners, ornaments, crocheted things and more. I absolutely adore her (and her work!). This year's jewellery adornments are from various lovely ladies: custom hair clips and brooch by Betty of Designed By Betty Shek, custom button necklace (and matching bracelet) by Collette of Noodlefish, gorgeous felted heart pendant by Meli of Stemellina (she has multiple shops - check them all out!) and an AMAZING felt bangle with clover embroidery (I should really take a picture) by my favourite fiber artist and good friend, Debbie, of Felter's Journey. Whew! Yeah, I really get into my holidays! I want to thank ALL of these ladies for their continued patience and willingness to accommodate all my custom requests too. You're all amazing and talented and I love you!

Ok, gushing over.. for now ;) Hope you all have a wonderful day! Lots of love and luck to you :)

Love,

I also created some *gasp* grown-up beads in lovely lime with silver wire. I've etched the beads and I just love how they seem to glow from within. Perfect for a pendant and earrings set!

Off to make more green beads! Have a wonderful day :)

Love,
