I've made a red charm bracelet with an innumerous amount of beads. 

Fiz uma pulseira de berloques com um número infinito de contas.

I hope you like it. I love it. This is the second charm bracelet I've made. I'm happy I've decided to create it for the challenge because I think I'm getting better at making this kind of bracelets.
Espero que gostem. Eu adoro-a. É a segunda pulseira de berloques que faço. Estou feliz por ter decidido fazê-la para este evento porque julgo que estou a ficar melhor neste tipo de pulseiras.

You'll have to go to Lili Krist's blog here to visit the other participants in this challenge.

Hi! Today is the reveal day for the Monthly Challenge 2014, hosted by the very creative Lili Krist of Personal Collection.

Olá! Hoje é o dia da apresentação do Monthly Challenge 2014, organizado pela muito criativa Lili Krist do blogue Personal Collection.

Let me tell you a bit about Lili's idea. One of her goals for 2014 is being more productive. Besides taking part in various challenges and competitions along each month, she will challenge herself to produce jewellery inspired by something that she has set. She has invited others to join her on a set date and today is the day.

A ideia da Lili baseia-se numa resolução que tomou para 2014 que é a de ser mais produtiva. Além de participar em diversos desafios e competições durante o mês, pretende desafiar-se e criar bijutaria inspirada em algo e convidou outros a mostrar o que se fez numa data definida.


Now I'm writing this, on the eve of the reveal date, and reading Lili's post for the challenge, I am aware that I quite misunderstood it. 

Agora que escrevo e que ao mesmo tempo releio o texto do post do desafio, percebo que interpretei tudo mal.

I am so sorry, Lili. I got it all wrong. I've made several pieces this month but not one was inspired by the photo. 

Lili, peço-lhe desculpa porque percebi tudo mal. Este mês fiz várias peças mas nenhuma inspirada na foto.


I can show you what I've made this month. I hope you don't mind. I took part in the A Time to Stitch 4 event, please go here. I've entered the contest of HoneyBeads, making these stunning Winterglow Earrings. 

Posso mostrar-vos os que fiz. Participei no evento A Time To Stitch 4. Entrei no concurso de HoneyBeads com estes brincos Winterglow.

And I've made a classic Netted Bracelet with Swarovski crystals for the Beading Friends Forever group on Facebook.

Fiz ainda uma pulseira num estilo clássico com cristais Swarovski para o grupo Beading Friends Forever no Facebook.

And today I've finally listed my Antique Brass version of the Star Flower Earrings on Etsy. Well, I could say I've made them for this challenge... let me look carefully at them...there is blue and a sort of brown to match some of the colours in the photo.

E hoje consegui finalmente colocar a minha versão dos Brincos Star Flower no site Etsy. Na realidade, eu até poderia dizer que os fiz para este desafio... deixem-me olhar bem para eles... têm azul e um tom de castanho que também estão na foto.

Can I offer you some beaded earrings? You'll have to go here and have luck on your side because it is a random giveaway.

Querem uns brincos de missangas? Têm de ir aqui e ter a sorte a favor porque é um sorteio aleatório.

Bead happy!
Sejam felizes!
