Another Monday and another pattern))

Another week passed, and only one exam is left now, the hardest one..
Today is Monday again, so one more pattern 4you:)

I did my best to win in the Haute Couture Beading contest, but I guess I'll be lucky next time) Still I'm glad that my compatriot Olga Haserodt (now she lives in Germany but she was born in Russia) won - her work was very beautiful and original. By the way, I was very surprised that there was only 1 winner and so many prizes just for him - couldn't they make some honourable mention prizes?.. There were so many beautiful noticeable works, that were worth it.
A couple days ago I've finished a new collar. I'm not sure how to name it, my fantasy wanished:) I just call it "The Ruby Flower".

I can't believe it! I work as a teacher! I've told myself so many times that I won't be a teacher, but look at me now! It is a very tiresome work. When I come home, I feel so tired that all I can do is sleeping... I work very hard because soon I'll have to study and to combine my work with my diploma. A couple of weeks ago I decided that I'll die if I don' have a holiday, and went to Egypt with my Maxim. We had a great time there! Now I'm home, and ready to work again.
As for my beading, all I could do during this month is to bead this beautiful bracelet, that will remind me about my holidays in Egypt..
