peyote stitch alphabet letters A-Z pattern

 

These personalized bracelets I made for nieces. Used Nymo thread and size 11 Toho beads. The girls liked their gifts.  


... and put the bracelets on hands.


I designed a new peyote stitch pattern of letters from A - Z and tested it. Here is another bracelet in progress: 


Used size 11 Delica beads. I prefer Delica beads because all beads are in one size and perfectly fit each other. 

The alphabet letters from A - Z pattern is available in my Etsy shop: Lariata.etsy.com. It is easy to create personalized bracelets. Just arrange the letters in this pattern to create the word or phrase of your choice. 

The PDF file includes all letters from A - Z, a large numbered color graph of pattern, and blank peyote stitch graph pages for arranging letters for your customized project. There are both, even-count and odd-count options.

paint by number kit "Flamingo" 2

The flamingo in progress. Last week and now one: 

I imagine how beautiful it will come out. The challenge is really hard for me to paint all these tiny areas. However, the picture is for a medium level. Paint a little more and I will get the ready picture :)

paint by number kit "Flamingo"

 

Really, I like to draw, but I'm not good enough. Someday I saw a great opportunity to make my own art - the kits Paint By Number. The kit contains all you need: canvas with numbers, paints, and brushes. It was hard to make a choice. Finally, I've bought a pink flamingo with a crown. The size is 40x50 cm (approximately 16"x20"). That's a pretty good challenge, look at these small areas: 

As the producer says, it may take about 2-4 weeks to paint such a picture. A nice start has done: 

Did you ever paint by the numbers? How it was?

simple knitted blanket

And now I've finished the knitting cable blanket. It is in natural white color and about 160x120 cm (60x45 inches). I like it so much, use it when watching TV with my favorite cup of green tea. This blanket is good to cover and feel comfortable. 

Look at these cables: it's really easy to knit!

Of course, the cat believes that this blanket is knitted for him 😸
