These are great! I have been working on some bead covers also, but have not tried one like your first two. That is next on my list. I'll have to take some pictures of the ones I've done, and post them.

> The Lace and Roses ornament I did in August because I was so excited about the design I couldn't wait. It was designed by Deb Moffett-Hall. The instructions were wonderful. I love how it came out. I used the very same fringe beads in the pattern. This is for my brother and SIL who have an wonderful old victorian style home and collect Christmas ornaments. I am sure they will really like this one.

I deviated a little on the fringe beads because I found some I loved at the local bead store. I am going to make a bracelet from this band design. It is really stunning in person.

> The red bead ornament cover is my own design. I started out worling from a modified herringbone necklace/collar pattern (in a magazine or someplace like that) and decided I didn't want to make a complete necklace. I was going to run out of beads and have order and wait. I hate waiting for beads part way through a project. Anyway, I thought it would make a better ornament cover anyway. So I worked it into size, added netting and some teardrop beads from my stash. I am very happy with how it came out.
