With International Beading Week over for another year, I hope you can reflect back and review all the fun. Certainly, I’ve loved seeing the beaded boxes coming to life and enjoying the competition entries. Which brings me neatly to my last task for this year’s week…announcing the IBW beading Competition Results. If you remember, I…
Now, I’m breaking one of my unspoken rules here… I don’t normally share my beadwork while it’s still in progress. But I have decided to make an exception and share a beading puzzle with you here. Why? First it’s International Beading Week, so yes, I am beading along with everyone else out there who is…
It’s the end of July, which, in the beading calendar, can only mean one thing…International Beading Week is here! For me, it also means another look back. So, just in case you missed anything, here are my July 2019 beading patterns. The first of these is actually related to International Beading Week. So that seems…
What will you be doing for IBW 2019? (That’s International Beading Week, in case you weren’t sure!). The festivities officially begin tomorrow and last until 4th August. But you’ve probably noticed some events going on already. In fact, if you’ve been following my blog, I’m already seeing some completed boxes from my Beadalong. It’s fabulous…
Yes, another month has flown by, so it’s time to take a look back on my June 2019 beading patterns. Now, I’ve been taking a bit of time out this month. So, you can breathe a sigh of relief as you’ll get a chance to catch up too! I have also been putting plans in…
International Beading Week just wouldn’t be the same without a competition or two! So, I’m announcing my own Bead Inspirations Beading Competition. What’s it all about…? How would you like to win £50…? …of beading goodies that you get to choose? Well I’ve decided to give not just one but TWO lucky people this prize.…
Well, a couple of weeks ago, I started announcing plans for International Beading Week 2019. The first announcement I made was that I will be doing a beadalong. And what project will we all be beading? A beaded box! So, I’m thrilled that I can now reveal my IBW Beaded Box…I hope you like it!…
So, another month has passed! Which means time to take a little look back at the new May 2019 beading patterns. As I hinted last month, I have abandoned the beaded bead challenge…at least for the moment. I’m sure I will make some more beaded beads this year, but possibly not one a week! This…
I’m very thrilled to announce that I have been made one of the first permanent ambassadors for Beading Week. So, I thought I should put in a little extra effort for International Beading Week 2019… Which, naturally, made me feel slightly under pressure… The result: I’ve been procrastinating! But now, at last, I am in…
Now, I know this is usually a beading blog. So, you might be expecting to read a post about the #MillionsMissing beads that I’ve lost on planes, in trains, out in the garden, not to mention up my vacuum, over the last 16 years. But if that is your expectation, I’m afraid I’m going to…
