1. I found some seed beads in lovely colors last week, and made another pair of beaded tassel earrings. (If you’d like to make your own, follow my tutorial. To make them more like this pair, use bead cones at the top.)

2. I had entered plenty of giveaways, but never won, so last week I was shocked to find out I’d won Honey Kennedy‘s giveaway of three Colette Patterns. Swoon! It was tough to choose from the many lovely options, but I finally picked out the Parfait, the Jasmine, and the Iris. Anyone sewn with these?

3. Until a kind reader told me and scanned it for me (thank you, Jane!) I had no idea my blog had been mentioned in the German edition of Burda. (I just wish the collar that they used a photo of was one that I had actually made!)

Hope you’re having a great weekend so far!
