Confessions of a Seadbeadaholic part 7

Hi There.....Are you ready for Spring?

I am, for sure. I just love to see nature come alive. The first flowers and the blossoms in the trees. And most of all the weather getting better 😊

So I was thinking why not do a small Spring sale in my shop. You get a 10% discount during the month of May for a minimum purchase of 30 Euro.

Did you notice that I am slightly changing all my pictures in my shop too? I hope you like the new clean look. Let me know if you don't, cause I am always open for suggestions 😉

Actually, it is not just my shop that has a different look. Last year I had a Gastric Bypass and since then I lost 41 kilos. I always thought that this was the easy way, but it's not you know. The first weeks are the hardest.....you only get to eat things like yogurt or fresh cheese or soup.....nothing solid.

Then you can start eating a bit of bread again and later on some meat. But the things you need to be careful with are fats and sugars. If you don't abide by that rule you pay with heavy cramps, feeling unwell, sweating and sometimes vomiting. You really don't want that.....believe me 😵

But it's been a year now and I can eat almost everything.....in small amounts of course. What I like most is that I am never hungry anymore 😃

What is most striking for myself, is that there are a lot of things I used to love eating that I just don't like anymore. And now I also tend to choose the more salty foods over sweet foods. I am just not that interested anymore in things like cake or chocolate.

Here is my before and after picture


I hardly believe it myself sometimes.....but am so happy I took that step 😃

So back to my shop now.....let me show you a bit of what I have in store at the moment.

Introducing you to - TheVeteransCompanion

Hi There.....Do you know any Veterans?

Yes? Great then you can let them read this blog maybe  😃

Ah, you want to know why of course. It's because today I would like to talk to you about an Etsy shop called TheVeteransCompanion.

This shop owner started actually by writing a blog to offer a different perspective in the world of PTSD from War Trauma. As time passed writing on this blog she noticed a lack in the Veteran-owned Businesses across the Nation which are affluent to all areas of life such as jewelry retail, crafting, and more.

Most Veteran-owned businesses tend to be driven more in the areas as construction, engineering, and woodworking. The shop owners Veteran owns a Construction Business.

At the Veteran Companion, he finds solace in working side by side as a husband and wife team in making scroll saw creations, helping with jewelry making, and running his construction business. This way he finds purpose by being of service to others.

With that passion, he can turn his love giving into something that helps connect others in their relationships.

So I suppose you can understand that the products in this shop are made with a lot of Love 😘

Introducing you to - hugsbeads

Hi There.....Are you a fan of hugs?

You are.....come on just admit it 😉

A weird question you might think. But it has everything to do with Hugsbeads, the shop I am introducing you to today.

Paula, the shopowner, wants to take you on a journey on how beading found her. She was not particularly looking for a hobby, let alone a passion, but it chose her.

Sounds cool.....don't you agree 😃

It all started 10 years ago, shortly after she had given birth to two beautiful bouncing identical twin boys. She already had a 6-year-old and 4-year-old son running around, and now she was up to her eyeballs with feeding twins and changing diapers. Oh yes, she says, the endless diaper changes!

I already had similar thoughts when having one kid at a time 😰

She was running on steam, not getting much sleep, feeling each day merge into the next with every minute scheduled. She loved being a mom more than anything but was feeling slightly overwhelmed.

But help was on its way.....Her mom came over to help her with the twins and brought with her a project for them to share. A simple earring bead pattern, a needle, thread, and some beads. They sat down to learn how to make this pair of earrings. And that is all it took for actually both of them to fall in love with beading. Especially the fact of doing something a bit 'girly' for a change.

That is how a lot of us Etsy sellers get started.....doing something simple, loving it and wanting to learn more 😃

So to continue her story.....From that point, she researched how to sew different bead weaving stitches and learned techniques of bead embroidery, which she absolutely loved to do cause it gave her the feeling of being able to be as creative as she wanted.

Her twins are now 10 years and she has been beading for all those years! She loves the feeling of designing and completing a piece. It's just part of her now.

She finds her inspiration everywhere. Sometimes she draws them, sometimes she just keeps them in her thoughts until she gets into her studio, and other times she has no clue where a piece is going until it's in her hands and she gets to work on it.

You might have been wondering where do those hugs come in then 😯

That is because there is love behind every piece, a story, a discovery, a journey.....a hug in form of the beads. She wants that hug to be a small reminder that we all have talents within us that are just there waiting to be discovered.

Now let me show you some of the pieces she has listed in her Etsy shop.

Dark Red Crystal Oval Pendant, Bronze Beaded Long Necklace



Sun Ring, Beaded Celestial Rings, Bronze Polymer Clay Sun



Polka Dot Earrings, Black Rockabilly Earrings with Czech Peacock Beads



Victorian Gothic Pendant, Black Polymer Clay Beaded Embroidery



Dusty Blue Flower Earrings, Polymer Clay and Crystal Dangle Earrings



Right Hand Ring, Bohemian Wide Band Ring for women



Native American Fringe Necklace, Green Blue Jasper Stone



Moon Face Beaded Shawl Pin, Celestial Beadwork Embroidery



Small Hoop Earrings, Turquoise and Bronze Bohemian Hoop Earrings



Ombre Earrings, Pink Square Earrings with Floral Modern Rustic Design



So tell me.....did you get her hug 😃

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great weekend

Introducing you to - AnnArtJewelry

Hi There.....Are you a fan of unique jewelry?

I sure hope so cause today I am introducing you to a shop with unique boho macrame jewelry called AnnArtJewelry.

Anna, the shop owner is a self-taught macrame artist. She loves designing her own jewelry and gets her inspiration from Mother Nature.

In most of her pieces, she uses her own handmade polymer clay cabochons or beads. This way she is able to combine the colors the way she likes.

You might wonder what a cabochon is.....It's a rounded stone with a flat reverse. But you can also make them in polymer clay of course 😃

She also uses semiprecious cabochons and beads, seed beads, Swarovski crystals, sterling silver, and waxed cord. Sometimes she includes other raw materials like sea shells, nutshells, sea pebbles, sea wood.....this way she ensures that most of her jewelry is one of a kind.

All the materials are carefully chosen by herself and are of the best quality. The waxed thread also used in her designs is of high quality with timeless durability.

Let me show you some of the one of a kind jewelry pieces you can find in her Etsy shop 😊

Macrame Necklace, mixed media jewelry, finer art necklace

Macrame set goldstone, macrame earrings, and necklace

Introducing you to - ARTEAMANOetsy

Hi There.....are you a fan of handcrafted jewelry?

I sure hope so.....Cause today I am introducing you to ARTEAMANOetsy.

Dimitra and Vangelis, a self-taught artist couple are the owners of this shop on Etsy. They like traveling and have a deep contact with nature which inspires them for all their jewelry creations.

They love macrame techniques. You might wonder what in the world is macrame

It is the art of knot tying with threads.....many little knots keep the beads or gemstones in place and give an ethnic-earthy style to their quality handcrafted jewelry.

They use waxed threads of superior quality with timeless durability. This makes sure that all the macrame jewelry maintains its shape and color for a long time, have a perfect appearance and stays strong and durable.

They also combine the macrame with silver soldered jewelry to create unique limited edition jewelry. 

The gemstones used in their jewelry is collected from their travels to make sure the customer has nothing less than outstanding quality at a very reasonable price.

That sounds great, don't you think so 😃
