Setting up the workshop

Setting up the new workshop today. I hope to finish a UFO before the end of the week if I don't get stuck playing with my new metals and tools.

New Beginnings

I have started gathering tools for an exciting new direction. I have started a small business on Facebook. It isn't meant to be a multi-million dollar venture or anything, it is just for fun. I have named my page Blue Butterfly Designs (BBD) and I would like to start doing some hand stamped metal work and see where it takes me. Please visit and like my page by clicking above.

Been a long time

Hmmm haven't update this blog since October. Mainly because I have a new baby, Aria Grace :-). However this has not totally stopped me from beading. I made this little distraction in the weeks leading up to my C-Section. It is a first for me, very ordered and a double St Petersburg chain.

Don't you hate when life gets in the way of beading

Well on top of a crazy three months of uni work, I have had a crazy three months of pregnancy!! That's right number four is on his/her (please be a her) way. I finally wrote the last 1000 words of my uni assignment yesterday and I am hoping in the next fortnight to start some beading or to finish some UFOs. So watch this space............

Didn't win

Oh well, the winner was lovely but it's such a subjective thing, judging things like this. I would not have liked to have been the judges that is for sure. On to bigger and better things me thinks!

Something different

This is my entry for the Amya Beads DQ for the beadingforum.com.au. Here's hoping I have a chance to win!

Freeform bead embroidery- Fruit of Passion

An example of being me. Lots of scribbly lines of beads, and colours that oppose each other on the colour wheel, and some bling :-).
