One very important jewellery S-word that I did not have time to include in my S-post is Seed beads!

Seed beads are small glass beads that can be used as spacers (beads between other larger beads) or woven into cuffs or sewn on clothes like sequins. There are alot of beaders that use seed beads. Seed beads come in different sizes such as 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15. The larger the size-number the smaller the bead! Size 15 is tiny, only 1.3mm in diameter, while size 6 is 3.3mm in diameter!

Yvonne Stark (also an S-word) is a Swedish designer that makes beautiful pieces of beaded jewellery and accessories using seed beads. To see more of Yvonne's work go to her shop here. and then click on "Galleri". If you live in Sweden, why not buy some seedbeads while you are visiting Yvonne Stark's shop ! (This is not and Ad, just something I like.)

My cat Cajsa celebrated her 11th birthday yesterday.
(Cajsa does not have her own blog, but her daughter, Sara does.)

"Cajsa" is not an S-word at all, while "Sara" is. Sara will be 10 years old on June 6th. So here's to you, my shy little blogging cat, Sara. (Check out "Sara Cat writes" here.)
