Move on, nothing to see here

I've had a busy day today and haven't been home to take a pic of anything and I was going to fall back on working my way through the TW's I've finished over the years but the next one is a really bad pic and fuzzy so I'll leave it for another day.

But at lesat I've posted :)

Bead Mat progress

As promised I'm back with before and after pics of my bead mat

Before

And after

I have more diamonds to make and I'll be back with at least another update on it before the end of the year.

I've added a few things to my for sale page if your interested

Diamonds

On and off over the last few weeks I've been trying to catch up on diamonds for my bead mat and while I've made a dent in the ones that need doing I still have a fair few colours left to do and some of those need more than 1 diamond doing.

I reach a point where I'm fed up of making them and need a break from that part of the mat and because when I do reach that point there's normally a fair pile of them to add I do that instead.

I reached that point today but as it's NaBloPoMo I thought a pic of 27 diamonds and me rabbiting about them would do as a post :)

There's several in there that have been used in different projects so I made more than one.

So far I've got about half them added to the mat and hopefully I'll finish adding them tomorrow and will have before and after pics.

Runekeeper update

My progress on Runekeeper from the weekend.

Maybe this weekend I'll get this square finished

Christmas Carol Book

I'd been drooling over this little book for ages on ThreadaBead and a few weeks ago Mum and I decided to club together to put an order in big enough to get free postage so of course I had to order it.

It's just 1 1/4 inches tall and has 9 carols printed in the book.

The back is the same as the front.

Opened up

I have the Christmas poems book to do, Mum bought the kit for that and I bought the book insert and she did the same for my one so we could swap patterns.

At last

I've finally got the pic of 4 seasons sampler this afternoon.

If you look at the top of the pic you can see 3 lines and the green border that I still have to do before Autumn is fully finished.

I'm still hoping I can get it finished this year but that depends on how long it takes me to get the model done for Sparklies which shouldn't be that long really and I'll probably have a better idea in a day or two of when that will be done.

NaBloPoMo day 4

I was going to post my progress on 4 Seasons sampler but this morning once the washing up was done and the floor brushed I made the mistake of picking my beading up before I took the pic and before I knew it it was dark out which means bad lightingand so no pic

So instead here's a pic of Millie that I took over the summer and never got round to posting.

Maybe tomorrow I'll get that 4 seasons pic taken, you never know stranger things have happened :)

Winter Wingding

I was all set to post last weeks progress on 4 Seasons sampler this evening but it looks like I've deleted that pic along with last weekends Runekeeper update so you'll have to make do with my progress from this week on Winter Wingding.

I'll have to take another one of 4 seasons and come back tomorrow with it.

Congratulations Mel

Mel graduated from Chester University today

Not much I can say really other than I'm so proud of her and she worked really hard to get her degree

Congratulations Mel xx
