Beading: Peyote Stitch Pattern 39
Please note: The beads in these patterns (obviously) do not look the same as the actual beads (some of those are opaque, transparent, silver-lined, matte, shiny and so on). I just pick those colours that I like together, which works for the patterns, but using these actual beads in a project may very possibly not give the same results. It is better to use these patterns as "colour inspiration" than to stick to the exact bead numbers in the materials list.

Imaginesque Pictures Are Now Pinnable! :)
You probably know those pictures that have the "Pin it" option show up when you move your mouse over them, right? A very handy option, but I had no idea how to do add it to mine, because tech-savvy I am not...
Planning to look for information on it soon(ish), I came across it when visiting a quilt blog to find out about batting (go figure...).
A lovely dutch lady has written a post explaining how to go about it, and she made it so easy to understand that even I managed to get it right in one go! :D
So now all my pictures are all nice and pinnable :)
Want to try it for yourself? Her blog is called "Phebe and Jane" and the post can be found here. And if you're a quilt lover you'll want to visit there regardless ;)
If your dutch is a bit rusty and your browser doesn't automatically translate blogs to your own language, don't worry; you'll find a translator gadget at the right side of the blog.
Have fun making your pics pinnable :)
