Thanks

Thanks to the people who commented about the last post. Sometimes the doubts seep in, so the comments were appreciated. I've made a couple of necklaces this week, using bugle beads. They're only simple. I'm still trying to figure out bugle beads to be honest.  I've also been working on the stitch. 18% done now  You can probably guess what the theme is now.  Until next time Ems

....anybody there?

Short one this week. Nobody's looking at this anyway, it's pretty much just for me and to be honest, I don't have the energy. I've made a bracelet this week, for once getting tge beading correct.  I've also been working on the stitch. Almost 17% complete now.  Until next time Ems

Dangling over the precipice

I've made a set of dangly earrings this week, using floral and leaf beads. I've also been working on the stitch, with 15% now done. The focus will be on this area for a while.  Until next time Ems

...and try again

Been working on beading again this week, with something more simple this time. Before that, here's the progress on the stitch.  It's nice to be able to see a bit of colour.  So, I've used the same simple pattern with bicones and seed beads to make some earrings and a necklace. It would have been 3 pairs of earrings but I didn't have enough seed beads.  Annoyingly I should be starting my Christmas stuff now but I can't cos most of my craft stuff is in boxes! Until next time  Ems

Dust yourself off

I tried some beading again this week. It didn't go as planned, but I still wanted to put a picture of it on here. Hopefully, at a later date, I'll be able to look back and see the progress I have made.  I've also made a pair of vintage style earrings, using some odd beads in my stash. The top beads are resin ones I made.  I've also been working on the stitch. An eighth of the way through now.  I showed my brother this, and he pointed out the bit on the left looks like a dog at the moment. I assure you, its not a dog!  Until next time  Ems 

Its time to play the music

I decided to make another pop up platform card this week, using muppets stamps. I wanted to make it look like a bit of a theatre, bringing to mind the early muppets days.  I've also been working on the stitch. 11% done now  Until next time Ems

Brickin it

I tried to do the brick stitch this week to make a necklace. It's curved a little, bit not bad for the first attempt.  I think the issue is the seed beads weren't uniform in size.  I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the update  You can see what the theme is more now. Well I can anyway. Until next time Ems
