ThreadKiller Friends

I have never before tried joining in on a threadkiller in Etsy before. When this fabulous polymer clay artist http://www.breathtakingbeadzz.etsy.com/ (I still think she has the prettiest beads in Etsy!) invited me in to join hers, I thought why not? I love her beads and thought maybe I could win some! Here is an example of her beads:



Beautiful, huh? Can't blame me for wanting more of these and free even, if I won! Here is my favorite that she made with her beads:

Lovely beads, lovely work! So I admit I was tempted, so I jumped in. At first I felt a bit awkward, not knowing anyone but everyone was so friendly, I soon felt at home. I chatted with different people in there and was drawn to several people.
After a while I came to the realization I had formed some tight bonds. Two ladies in particular touched my heart. The first lady is quite younger than me and she even calls me Mom. What a sweetheart she is. I just love her! Her shop is just the cutest ever. She can be found at: http://www.violetunderground.etsy.com./ She does such beautful work and my favorite is this:


Stunning!! She even makes the cutest little Barbie clothes like this:

Isn't that adorable? I would have loved something like that when I was a child for my Barbies! Her daughter is so lucky to have a Mom who can make clothes for her dolls. This lady is one of the sweetest people I have met and I hope everyone who reads this will check out her adorable shop. Not only great talent, but great personality!
The second lady who has really become a great and true friend is Cathryn. She doesn't have an Etsy shop yet but I am working on her. lol She has such a great eye with beads. She makes some stunning designs and posts them on her blog: http://www.chilecats.blogspot.com/
Here is my favorite of hers:


So beautiful! Don't you think she needs an Etsy shop so she can share her talents with everyone?? She has been wonderful to me. We have swapped beads and stories and developed a great friendship. She is even helping me out with a project I will be announcing soon for my shop.
What a blessing finding wonderful friends like these. There are more friends found there but these two have truly touched my heart. I don't even care about winning thr threadkiller anymore. I have my prize!
