Finally back into beading...



Even though I am still battling this dreaded cold I've now had for three weeks I have managed to get some beading done this week!

It feels wonderful to finally be beading again.

I had a day off work yesterday due to a public holiday and managed to get quite a bit done on my
Retro Daisies bracelet which is one of the projects for


The above bracelets aren't mine - just a reminder as to what the Retro Daisies bracelet looks like.

Mine has been stitched in my usual, predictable colours! 
I just need to make a few more daisies and then attach them to the bracelet base.

On the weekend I will make a start on the Ripple Effect cuff.


I already have my cabochon picked out so I just need to match it with some beads and I can get started.

Quite a few of the Beading Babes are currently working on their cuffs and doing an amazing job!
Pop on over to the Facebook page to check out their progress shots.

Speaking of the Beading Babes Facebook page, a big welcome to all of our new members.

The group is now 189 members strong and I am really looking forward to reveal day to see everyone's pieces.

Speaking of reveal day, just a reminder that the date is set for 

Sunday 2 September

Happy Beading!

My Creative Space



Apologies for being so quiet lately.

I've been quite ill over the past 8 days so this is what my creative space has been filled with...

Lots of these



some of these



quite a few of these


Not enough of this



and none of these!




I also haven't done my workout in a week so I am feeling quite lazy and looking forward to being physically active again.

I am slowly getting back into the swing of feeling close to normal and hoping to get some beading done over the weekend...you take the level of concentration needed to bead for granted...until you are lacking it!

What's in your creative space?

Hopefully more than tissues and Strepsils!
