I have just joined swap-bot to try and extend myself with beading and other creative things. I have looked all over this site and most of the things seem smaller so hoping that I will be creative in a small way.
My first swap i have signed up for is for inchies. I have been reading about these and think they will be fun - have to make five for a swap so I have the thinking cap on tonight to start.
I swap with Swap-bot!
This blog started with the making of Goddess dolls but has moved onto more of the beading items that I have always wanted to make. This is the beginning of my journey to doing more beading and designing.

Stitching is coming along
Inspiration is coming out my ears this month it seems. I have been making up some kits for a couple of friends to make a beaded angel and also thinking about some new patterns for christmas decorations.
My mum and I usually make about 20 of a pattern before I teach it to anyone so I have to make up some new ones for next year. this year i will be teaching a set of three decorations called "Neptunes Waves" using a combination of a honeycomb net and russian braid. Neptune because I was at the beach when I was fiddling with the pattern. I really love the russian braid and find it a great way to cover a shape, especially an egg or oblong but sometimes the joining of the ends is always fun.
