Been a while
Well, it's been a while since my last post.
I was working at this place called International News, all seemed GREAT! Then they started scheduling me for 6, 7 & 10.5 hours shifts without a single break!! I mentioned that I needed a meal break for that long of a shift. I do have type 2 diabetes & need to eat on a somewhat normal basis. They told me that beacuse they only need 1 person to work at a time that breaks don't happen & it's not going to change now! Well, I called the labor board & told them what was up, I am perfectly within my right to ask for a meal break after 5 hours worked. Needless to say if I'm not going to receive a proper break then I shouldn't work there! Also during my employment with this company, I was told to come in for work one day at 11AM and work until 9:30PM but I would only be getting paid from 2:30 - 9:30 & yup, you guessed it, NO BREAK...umm HELLO...I don't work for free & I don't know many people who do unless it's volunteer work! Anyway, I am back to searching for a part time halfway decent job with a company who follows the rules for employees set out by the Employment Standarts Act! Jeesh!!!
On to beading!
I haven't done a lot but have finished up some projects that needed to be done. The first is one of my own designs. It is a tapesty done with Delica beads, 6880 to be exact & is Chinese characters which spell the word Goddess! What do you think? I am really pleased with the way it turned out.
I have also recently made a European 4 in 1 chainmaille ring for myself. Actually I had one made a few days ago then, a friend came over tried it on, and is still wearing it. I hope she likes it as much as I like mine. I find them very comfortable to wear. Here's a picture. It's not the best picture but it'll do.
Today I even managed to upload 5 new patterns at www.bead-patterns.com (designer name Looner Creations) Sorry shamless plug.
That's about all for now. I have designed a few new patterns & want to bead them up first before I publish them at Bead Patterns.com. I also have two ornament patterns to write up...I LOVE BEADING!
Ciao,
Pam :o)

Good Morning,
Just having a little prowl through your blog and had to stop and say how wonderful your tapestry is,almost 7,000 delicas? WOW. Only another beader could appreciate that.
It is stunning too. Congratulations!
Good morning,
Thanks for stopping by :o)
I love doing tapestries, the largest one I have done to date has 21,330 delicas. It took a little while to do but boy was is GREAT when it was all done. Unfortunately it was a bead fairy piece that I did for Deb Bergs and had to send it to her. It was very hard to let go of it.
I have 6 various sized tapestries hanging up in my home & have given a few as gifts.
Thank you for visiting :o)
