Beaded Chickadee pin/pendant. Click for more photos.

Just a quick post to let you know what I've been up to over the weekend. I have been busy working on my Etsy shop! I created a beaded Black-capped Chickadee pin! I have always loved Chickadees because they call me by my knickname (chick-a-dee-dee-dee)! And, every time I walked through the woods up in New Hampshire, these little birds followed me. They kept an eye on me and made me feel safe! But, my little beaded bird is a city bird. He's sitting on a steel wire instead of a tree branch. I used tiny size 15 Japanese seed beads for the entire piece, and I finished it with a pin/pendant finding so it can also be worn on a necklace chain! You can see a sneak peek at how I made it HERE & HERE. Also, check out more photos by clicking the image above.

I also listed that beaded button I was working on awhile back - I called it Earth on the Rocks. And, I added a new item to the SALE section in my shop - my beaded Robin in Winter Snow painting! You can see it in this 'Summer' Treasury:

Also, before I forget, check out my interview on the DZ Fantasy blog! I am thrilled to be featured! *blush* :) Now, I think I'll get back to my beaded White House painting... What did you accomplish over the weekend?
