Two Bracelets

These are made using a pattern from The Bead Merchant. Kits can be bought from their website. I love the colours in these two and I am putting them in my Folksy shop - see button at side.

Another 'fluffy' bracelet, this time made from berry and black glass beads. It has gone in my Folksy shop.

Dutch Swirl Ear-Rings and an Updated Necklace

I got the pattern for these from one of my new books (recently blogged). They were simple to make and I think they are really effective. A bit too glitzy for the school run maybe, but perfect for all the Christmas parties coming up...

And this is a necklace I made a while back. My friend wants to buy it and asked me to shorten it for her. She ordered a pair of matching ear-rings from the removed beads! Waste not, want not!

Oh blimey! Brilliant news...

I have made my first sale on my Folksy shop. I am so excited! Thank you Incy Wincy for buying the berry bracelet. You are my first customer...

The second beading day project finished

This is very pretty finished. So much so that I am working on one for my friend's birthday. She likes green, so I have bought some wonderful beads to make it with.

Beading day makes

It was a fab day. I made these two part projects and added a lot more once I got home. The black and white necklace is nearly finished now. The berry work is going to be a bracelet and might be a birthday present for a friend, depending on how it turns out!

A 'berry' nice bracelet

This is made from the box of beads shown earlier in my blog, plus a few others. I was worried about red and purple together, but the colours are so 'jam-like' that they go beautifully.
