We've seen graduations (one high school and one college,) visits from family, painting inside and out on the house, some furniture projects, and just a lot of running around. We've found ourselves in the junior bowling tournament world with my son and of course the pets are keeping us busy. Our schedules are all over the place because my daughter graduated summa cum laude and found a job within 2 weeks of graduation. My son is pretty busy with bowling (2 leagues and tournaments) and he was supposed to take it easy this summer, but he's been doing odd jobs on a gentleman's small farm and he joined a gym and he is mountain biking when he can and he completed his volunteer hours for his scholarship and he's taking care of campus orientation and registration and he's been dog and house sitting with his sister and he's doing a bunch of other things. So, we get together every evening or night for dinner. No matter how late it is we are going to eat dinner together and pray the rosary as a family. Whew. So the days are long and sometimes I am dizzy with all that is going on.
Anyway, here's another one of my patterns. I was channeling the heartbreak of one of my friends many moons ago. You can tell it's an older pattern because the picture is kind of bad, but I really still like the design. It's called Angst. It's 2-drop odd count Peyote.
If you want the featured free pattern, you just have to do ONE thing:
- Send me an email so that I can email the PDF to you... the comments form on my blog DOES NOT give me your email address... without your email address, I cannot send it. The contact form is located at the top of the page. Now, if you would like to leave a comment on my blog, well, that is just gravy and I would certainly appreciate it... Feel free to comment on whether you like the pattern or not or if you have a blog I should check out, or how you use the Emojis.
What Is Not
Included:
- Directions for peyote stitch are not included... there are plenty of sources online for that by people who are better teachers than I.
- The Word pattern is not included because it is a relatively simple project and the color chart should be more than enough.
- Adobe Reader for viewing the PDF file

If you use my pattern, please be kind and give me the credit as the
designer, ie beaded by Dana Shmoe and Designed by 3 Peeps Designs. I don't mind if you sell your completed project for bead money, but I want design credit. Why
do I want design credit? Well, I do still sell some of my patterns and I
use the money to buy beads. It isn't a business, it is for fun ie funding my beading habit. Seeing
my designs in your shop (or anywhere else) without the design credit
takes all of the fun away... and I will take steps to have the photo
removed.. This is fun, I'm trying to be charitable, and I design a lot
more than I have a chance to bead... and I know there are others who
don't like to design, but do enjoy beading. As soon as Free Pattern
Friday stops being fun, I will stop doing it.

And just because I am offering my patterns for free does not mean
you can just pass it around to your friends. Please, have them come to
my blog and comment, etc in order to get their own copy. * I know most
of you don't need to be reminded of beady etiquette, but some of you do
and I'm just trying to keep it real.
Again, I
apologize for not having some sort of automatic download of the pattern
on the blog, but I don't know how to do it and I don't want to learn
right now. I like the interaction that commenting and then sending an
email requires. If you're on Facebook, send me a friend request! I'm
trying to fill my FB feed up with beadwork rather than anything too
serious.
