| Room With a View ... The Shades of Spring! |
jQ jewelry designs Spring 2011
Every Spring I have the most wonderful view out the window in front of my work desk. Last Spring I snapped the above photo and posted it on facebook. I'm hoping for an early Spring, so I'll once again get inspiration from all the glorious shades of Spring!
I adore Springtime and have several favorite photography prints to remind me of it year round ...

One of my goals for 2011 was to use my present stash of beads instead of buying more! When is enough enough? When did I become a bead collector?
So in an effort to keep my New Year's Resolution and resist the temptation of an upcoming Gem & Bead Show, I dug out some of my very favorite gemstones that I resolve to use at jQ jewelry designs this coming Spring and Summer.

The thing about collecting beads. Is something that just happens when you love jewelery making and lovely beads!
I guess that you, like me, have lots and lots that you rather not use. Just keep. ;)
Looking forward to se what you will make from those lovely beads!
