Did you know ... that you can actually find cheap frames that work perfect for a design? I was thrilled when I went to Joann's a couple of weeks ago and found this ready made frame that works perfectly with Kindred Spirits ... I am sooo happy with the result ...
these scissor fobs! I had so much fun making these and can't wait to make more ... it's funny, the hardest part of beading is coming up with what beads you want to do and the pattern of them ... the beading is the easy part ...
Did you know ... Jolene is having another wonderful drawing at her blog ... pop over and say hi ... and she has an adorable freebie for us on her blog too.

Did you know ... that I took a beading class with Lisa back in September ... my very first class and omgosh I am soooo hooked on beading! What fun! Lisa came over last Saturday and look what we made ... 3 lovely bracelets. The blue one I made and the other two Lisa made while I was busy making ...

that frame is perfect
i thought the mantle display was nice before
now...wow!
I love your Kindred Spirits! I just added that to my stash and can't wait to start it. The frame you found is perfect.
I have done a little beading too....beware, though, it can be very addicting.
I love reindeer too and I would have changed it too or it would have driven me crazy. Dianntha
I love your reindeer! I don't know of any fun bellpull hardware, but maybe you could spray paint what you find chocolate brown? Your Kindred Spirits is gorgeous, and I love your frame! Your mantle is very fun and festive.
Michelle, did you know...that was a lovely post? :)
Love your finishes, and your mantle looks ever so cool and Halloween-y!
Your reindeer are very cute! I've never seen this design before. Kindred Spirits turned out great1 I love the frame you chose for it! I wish we had a Jo-Ann's around here!
That frame is perfect for that piece. I've found some great frames in Joanne's, etc. Sure saves a lot of $$. Yours looks perfect for the design.
Love your beading projects. That's one thing I have to learn, although I really don't need another project!!
Kindred Spirits looks fantabulous...and for a cheap frame it looks like a million bucks!
I'm with you on the Reindeer names...perhaps they were playing Reindeer games with you ;)
What a GREAT entry. LOVE those reindeer, and your Halloween display is fabulous!
Did you know - how much joy you give with your wonderful posts. What a great fun read. Thanks!!
All your work is lovely! I try to find ready made frames too. Its when I get a square design that is hard because those are hard to find ready made. You found the perfect frame for your piece.
Your frame is perfect Michele:)
Wow you like reindeeer????? How did I miss that! Lol! Your reindeer piece looks fantastic:)
Love your beading too!
Hi Michele I found your blog through Staci over at snippets and stash. Beautiful stitching, I think I would have done the same with the reindeer too.
You know, I didn't know, but now I know, and I am glad that I know. LOL
I love the reindeer banner, and your mantel is, as always fantastic!! I think if I lived nearby, I would want to come visit often just to see what you have done with it now!!
We are going to miss you at MB - will be thinking about you.

I'm not a Halloween fan, but Kindred Spirits is GORGEOUS!!! LOVE how that turned out.
I laughed about the reindeer. We always tell our niece that it's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and FRITZEN
I stitched up a reindeer today! And you're right about the order of the names. So there :)
The frame was perfect, how great that you were able to get a good deal on it. Fun reindeer piece too, I think I'd have reordered the names as well.
Sue
Frame is perfect and I love your reindeer. Love the beading!
Nice frame!!

Michele,
Thanks for visiting...the reindeer were from a pattern in the magazine Holiday crafts (by better homes and gardens) There is a picture of a snowman pillow on the front cover. I can post a picture of the magazine in you want me to. Blessings, Dianntha
Hi Michele....your Kindred Spirits is just wonderfu1-pretty, pretty mantel! I love your frame too. I just ordered more black....I'm not sure if I will have this finished by the 31st.
You are going to have fun beading, it's addicting too....your fobs look great...hugs, Linda
