February Bead Journal Page

Happy Easter!!!! It is a beautiful day here, even though it is a little cool for those wonderful pastel dresses, flower laden hats  and white sandals. The sun is shining and all of the snow from yesterday is gone.

I worked diligently on my February BJ page last night and finished the backing and edging today

As you can see I stayed with the Valentines Day theme Hearts and Flowers and Lace. The black background fabric has a white feather/fern design printed on it and I used the line as a pattern for the white beads. You can just see some of the lines in the next photo.

I love this kind of fabric, I guess that is probably why I like batiks and hand dyes.... for that little surprise you find when you get up close and personal with the item.

I have started planning my March page, I know I only have 8 days left......... but it is about Spring, and Faith and New Life  all the things that make you want to create and move forward....   Here is a sneak peek...

Ok, so it isn't very far along, but can you see where I might be going??? Another hint....Spring Green 

Still not sure, well you'll just have to come back and see it when it's completed.

Your February page came out great. Love the white "lace" as background to the heart.

You are farther along than me by one month. I have about as much done on my February page as you do on your March!

Yummy valentine, Sue... At first I thought it was a valentine's cake. So pretty and perky. March already had a compelling look to it. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Cheers, Robin
