- Hi! 👋
I am back from my business trip! I am trying to ease back into small business things but as always... there is just too much to do - I feel like I am going at a 100 miles per hour... But still, please enjoy! It's good to be back! And thank you so much for everyone's orders and your patience while I was away!
The bead shop update will be around mid March!
Feel free to ask questions or leave feedback! Like, comment, subscribe if you feel like it!
As always - thank you for being here! 🌞
❗️ If you remake my designs always credit the original creator and artisan to respect their work and effort - it is not ok to steal ideas and designs from others and sell them as your own. It is rude and disrespectful at the very least. Don't be that person ❌

Wow, great beads!!! You don't have to feel pressured to answer me, but I feel sure that you can make beautiful things with the new stones. I get being nervous, but if anyone can...YOU CAN!! CANT WAIT TO SEE!!😊❤❤❤
I've started experimenting with my new cabs! I really want to branch out to necklace pendants and brooches with the unique stone cabs I have now! Cannot wait but I will need some supplies first! After making some bead embroidered earrings I feel a little more ready than before 😄 Thank you for your lovely comment! ❤️
This was exciting and very insightful. Thank you so much for revealing the time and money it takes to run a creative small business with such honesty. It is amazing how you manage to get those tedious tasks accomplished and still have creative energy and enthusiasm. Much respect!
Thank you for watching my little vlog! Yes, owning a small business is definitely more than just being creative and creating stuff all the time. There is so much work and effort going into marketing, social media, finances, organization and so many more things. I actually do like the variety of tasks - you can switch up your tasks all the time. I enjoy it but I understand if this is not for everyone! 🌞
Hope your work trip was good. Glad you are back. I look forward to your videos. I love those earrings that you feel people aren't buying. You have your work cut out for you for sure. I am anxious for my order to arrive. Looking forward to making your style of fringe earrings. Beads should be about what you like to make, IMO. I try not to hoard my beads but its hard. I love beads too.
By now I have so many beads that I don't feel the need to hoard anymore... because I won't every run out of beads anymore 😂 but yes - I get it - it's hard to use beautiful beads - especially your favorite ones. I get scared of using up all my favorites, too! But there will be probably new very pretty beads in the future and I actually want to use all of them somehow - just to play around. So it's fine 😄 Enjoy your new supplies and I wish you much joy with your beading projects! And yes, it's good to be back - I love travelling - but being home is even better 🌞
Great earrings.. so beautiful. Thank you for the new Etsy downloadable Faunus colorways, graphs and all around DIY heaven. Love Love Love. Have a great day 💐💐
Thank you for your repeated support! I appreciate it so much! Hopefully you can make some beautiful earrings for yourself with those downloads! Thank you for sticking around ❤️
Hi, I love your videos. When you are sewing beads around your stone cabs, if you cut the felt in an oval or circle, the beading string will not get hung up on the corners because they are not there. Hope this helps.
I have exactly the same feeling about semi-precious stones! :D I have invested in some... and indeed, I am not confident enough to use them in my projects yet. They are too beautiful as they are, I am not sure if I will manage to set them in a way which would enhance their features.
I absolutely get the fear of failing beautiful craft supplies - especially natural stones and such. You wouldn't want to take away from their natural beauty... I started using glass cabs and glass crystals - it really helps with overcoming your doubts and learning which designs and techniques you like. Maybe try that route and come back to your stones at a later time 😊 and don't forget to have fun along the way! ❤️
Beautiful earrings .
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you like them 😊
I guess you should feel blessed for your orders. Very difficult trying to keep up. Good luck
Oh I absolutely do feel blessed! I appreciate every new as well as repeat customer! It's great when people decide to support your business and even decide to support again in the future! 😊 So thank you everyone! It means so much ❤️
I have misseed you! I love the beads in your new order. I wish I could order all of them!! Maybe next month but this past month I had to order more deliva beads> Iwas running out of many colors. I really like the Fish beads, I really dont know how much I can spend right now as I have an apointment with the eye doctor. Well, I also love the new earring designs!!! I really wish you lived closer to me!!! I would have ordered a ton of beads from you!! the shipping is what scares me!! I sent a package to canada and the shipping cost was over $60.00's which was just insane!!! So I understand how it must be very hard on you with the shipping costs!!! Well my dear wonderful young friend I hope you are well ! Hugs from Mi. in the US!!
Hi Vicky! Yes, it's good to be back - sorry for the late reply! I know it's a lot of money but with a minimum order value of 80 euro shipping is free in my bead shop. So maybe you would consider it then. I plan on having my bead shop update by the end of March - I will need to move to a different apartment - but I would love to get the update done before that needs to happen. 🌞 Right now I am busy with getting up-to-date with all the comments because these past few weeks were wild! I cannot wait for everything to calm down a little bit... 😩 so thank you for checking in with me time and time again and watching my vlogs! Hugs from Austria ❤️ I hope you are doing well!
Will you be doing bead embroidery tutorials at a slow speed, or just the rapid shorts?
Sure! I would love to! I just don't know when it will happen... I could definitely show the basics of how I make my own embroidered earrings 😊
Will you be doing a video on how to make these bead embroidered earrings? You can just respond YES or NO....i know you're busy!
I would love to! Show all the supplies and where you can get them and show you those basic techniques I use to make the earrings! I would love to make those videos in May or June! Thank you for being here ❤️
@bafflingbeadsat I will look forward to that! You are stringer than you know, so hang in there, you beautiful, talented, woman!!!!! This too shall pass!
