My wonderful husband gave me some of his hard earnt overtime money to buy myself some more jewellery making components. I had so much fun choosing what I wanted, and both websites I used (www.beadsdirect.co.uk & www.sanctuarybeads.co.uk) were so quick in delivering them I didn't have to wait more than two days for it all too arrive. Some of it was ordered with Christmas presents in mind, some because I needed it (clasps & headpins) and the rest because they are beautiful beads. I had great fun creating the necklace you see here on the first evening and I'm really pleased with it, so pleased infact I put a photo onto my Facebook page and I was chuffed with the number of people who liked it. The past two evenings I have spent going through all the bracelets and necklaces which were almost finished, but due to either not having enough clasps or my attention being on a new idea, and completing them. So now I feel all up to date with my jewellery and free to start a new piece. I was too tired last night though so I picked up my knitting, if I apply the same determination to complete I may have a new scarf by Xmas :-) It will be the first thing I have knitted since making Sindy scarfs as a child, and as its now about 25cm long (16cm wide) I think it has a chance of being ready in time.
Oh yes, and this is what happens when you give a toddler a box of plastic beads to play with ('Oooo, pretty Mummy'), they don't stay in the box for very long. You'd think I'd have this sussed by now wouldn't you?!
