Are you new at beading? Start beading with this Free Peyote Triangle Pattern

Hi There.....Have you ever done beadwork?

I have done quite a lot..... And I still have to do a lot..... You may be thinking..... Why? Simple because I have a closet full of beads..... Those little buggers are so very addictive 🙃

But I thought to myself..... Why on earth should I go through this alone..... Why not rub it off on a few others here..... That's an evil plan, I know..... But I just can't help it..... I blame my mom and dad..... They are the ones that made me..... I had no say in it 😈

So if you are a bit like me..... Evil..... Come and join me in spreading this addiction..... And start by trying out this pattern to make this Magical Triangle 😋

Here is an example of what we will be making

Pattern Peyote Triangle

I always use Toho or Miyuki Delica beads because, in my opinion, they get the best results..... To make it easy it is best to work with 2 different colors of beads..... We will call them A and B

Step 1 

On a comfortable length of thread pick up 3 beads A and go through them again to make a ring as shown on the drawing below

Step 2

Pick up 2 beads A and go through the next A bead. I have made the beads from the previous drawing light grey and the newly added beads black.

Pick up 2 beads A and go through the next A bead.

Step 5 

Now we need to step up to the next round by going through the first A bead added in step 2.

Step 6

Step 7 

Pick up one bead B and go through the next A bead. From here on the newly added B beads will be red and the ones from previous rounds will be pink.

Step 12 

Step up to the next round as you did in step 5

Step 13 

Pick up 2 beads A and go through the next A bead.

Step 14 

We will add 2 beads B instead of one now.

Step 15 

Repeat this for the rest of this round and step up to the next round as you did before

Step 16 

In the next round we will add 3 beads B instead of 2 and so on

Step 17 

You can make it as big as you want - to end it you make a round by just adding one bead A on the 3 corners.

There is a lot you can do with these..... You can make them into earrings or make several triangles and put them together to make a bracelet 😃

But was is most important is that you have fun making them..... Show me yours when you finished it..... Your triangle of course 😁

One more thing..... Don't come crying to me if you get addicted..... I did warn you 🤣🤣

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where can I get some great prints from my photographs?

Hi There..... Do you like taking pictures?

Isn't taking pictures of the things you enjoy in life the best thing..... I think it is..... I can so enjoy going through pictures of my youth, holidays, the kids..... All kinds of things..... Especially in these times of quarantine..... Pictures from better days..... The days when we were free to go wherever we pleased 😎

Don't worry about it too much..... Those days will come back..... We may even laugh about all this someday..... And the pain from losing someone will fade..... I can tell you about it..... But these things do take time..... But the memories will be there forever.....Especially those you were able to capture in a beautiful photograph 😘

That is something I wanted to talk to you about today because I just received some prints of my pictures from https://www.fotofabriek.nl/..... I know you may think I am old fashioned but I still love to get my pictures on prints..... Ah good old fashioned me hehe 😉

They have some great options for your pictures to try out..... I tried their Retroprints option..... Here is a link to it..... https://www.fotofabriek.nl/producten/fotos/retroprints/retroprints/ ...... You never know when it may come in handy 😊

And I was so happy to see how my pictures turned out..... Great quality and I especially love the black and white one..... It's a picture of me when I was still a kid..... Ages ago 😁

Pretty cool..... Don't you agree..... They are all pretty good..... Must be because I took them myself..... No, no I can't fool you now, can I..... Of course, I didn't take them all myself 😏

The website has a lot of other great options to choose from..... Let me show you a few

Where can I find Honey? Where can I find great Honey products?

Hi There..... Do you like honey?

No, no..... Not your honey..... I mean honey made by bees 😋

Did you know that there are stories about honey being used to treat a lot of ails dating back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians? Traditional Indian medicinal practices and Chinese medicine also made use of honey.

Another thing I found on Wikipedia is that the oldest know remains were found in Georgia dating about 5000 years back..... It seems that people in those days were buried with several types of honey to accompany them on their journey into the afterlife.

I don't know about you but I always am curious about those kinds of things..... Ah yes I have to admit that I am the curious type 😊

There is no point in denying that honey has a lot of benefits..... And on top of that, it is very tasty as well..... Surely you must agree on that 😋

So you can imagine that I was happy to test a few products from https://www.lekkerhoning.nl/

Did you know they sell honey..... Haha of course they do..... But not just that they also have a lot of other things like beauty products, candy, delicacies, candles and so much more.

I was allowed to choose what I wanted to try out..... I found that pretty hard..... They have so many great choices..... But because I wanted to try out different things this is what I picked 😃



The first one I tried out was the honey lollipop..... This is what the site says about it..... They are lovely lollipops made from cane sugar, glucose obtained from wheat and they contain 10% honey..... Here is the link to the product https://www.lekkerhoning.nl/product/honinglolly/

My own findings of these lollipops are that they are not overly sweet..... Which for me is a good thing because I really don't like things that are very sweet..... Except for my granddaughter..... I love it when she is really sweet haha..... I did like the lollipops but I wouldn't have minded for them to have some more honey in them 😉

Secondly, I tried out the biologic Hair Conditioner..... This is what the site says about the product..... It's an organic hair conditioner from Propolia® that combines honey with reinforcing wheat proteins and cider vinegar to bring out the smoothness and shine of your hair. A haircare product with sweet scents that complement the natural beauty of your hair..... Already one of their favorite products..... Silicone free and Quarts free..... It is suited for people that could use a natural boost for their hair and to make it tangle-free after washing it with shampoo..... Here is the link to the product https://www.lekkerhoning.nl/product/haar-conditioner-bio/

I actually was really excited to try out this conditioner..... I tend to hide my grey..... Or actually white hair in my case..... Like most women, I color my hair..... Why wouldn't I .....Blondes have more fun..... Or that's what I like to think 😏

And of course, it doesn't change my date of birth but I can only hope it makes me look somewhat younger..... But coloring does make my hair even drier than it already is and therefore it looks somewhat dull and brittle 😵

My own opinion on this hair conditioner is that it does exactly what it promises to do. I am definitely gonna use this again. It doesn't have an overpowering smell and my hair feels nice and soft afterward and I can comb through it easily 😃

The third item I tried out was their Fruit Honey..... This is what the site says about it..... It is less sweet in taste than other honey types and as the name says itself a bit fruity in taste. It is light in color. The crystallization of this honey is slower which keeps it liquid for a longer time. The honey is collected by bees in the fruit orchards..... Because it stays liquid for a long time, this honey is well suited for tea or cake..... Here is the link to the product https://www.lekkerhoning.nl/product/fruithoning/

You may know it or not but I actually hate coffee and am a fervent tea drinker..... You do not want to know how many kinds of tea I have in my pantry..... So you can understand why I picked this type of honey 😀


So what is my opinion on this type of honey..... I just love it..... It is so easy to use..... no need to scrape the honey from the pot..... Just go in it with your spoon and it solves almost instantly in your tea..... It takes away the bitterness of the tea.....Some teas can turn really bitter when they cool down..... I hate bitter 😖

They have a lot of other great products on their site..... Here are a few more that I wanted to share with you 😊
