Never Enough Green

Yay! My order of green seed beads arrived! Above you can see some of the colours I got. I ran out of the dark transparent green colour for the beaded trees I'm working on. I also needed to have some brown size 15 seed beads on hand - I use those to make Einstein sheepdog pins for my Etsy shop! :D

Also this weekend, I decided to concentrate on my beaded White House painting. I am working on the West Wing trees. I think I made some progress, but I still have a lot to bead, including a veggie garden & a Portuguese Water Dog!
