Fave Crafts Blog Hop- April 15thAfrican Trade beads and giveaways

Welcome all Fave Craft Blog Hoppers. This is the April Blog Hop and you are all so welcome to my blog.
And a Hey Ho to my regulars. I hope spring will bring me springing out to the world with bells on my toes!!
I hope you all are doing well and enjoying spring or fall depending where you are.


This month and part of last I was working on African Trade Bead tutorials. I have 8 of them so far and they include the canes, or primary patterns, for the beads and then how to make the beads also. I also have several giveaways going on, see below.

I am really late today! ;-D
Slept the day away yesterday.
YAY! I feel like I have a hangover today, maybe too much sleep?
