the little prince, an army of passion and a pile of plush

...aside from rebuilding the tiny house...

i have been busy making some new jewelry.

and i am seriously IN LOVE with the new danglers.

they are like a garden of stars to wear around your neck

  

38" of shimmering color.

the beads are like dew drops on a spider web.

 

and the stars remind me of the little prince     

i also found some AMAZING vintage japanese flower beads 

they totally remind me of my passion flower vine.

   

...which i am sad to say did not come back this season...

it gets so gangly during the fall and winter that we decided to cut it back this year and the poor thing never revived :(

anyways, i modeled this necklace after my absolute FAVORITE beaded strand that wraps around 3 times...it's 58" of teeny tiny beads strung one freakin bead at a time and it took forever to make, but i think it was worth it.

and FINALLY here are some of the new kitty kats.

 

they are patiently awaiting their rosettes.

i am completely smitten with their bright colors and ruffley edged collars,

but i think the whiskers are my favorite part.

   

i left them unattached on one end so they are free to roam

(as whiskers should be)

i probably should have straightened them out on her pretty little face before taking the the shot, but she was having a cat nap.

speaking of cat naps...i think i hear the couch calling

i promise i won't be so scarce next week and i will have more to show you for the next update

have a beautiful and creative weekend.
