Fabulous Festive Greetings

Thought I'd share this Xmas card to 

wish you all a

very 

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for reading and following my blog.

I'm signing off now until the New Year. 

See you in 2012! 

My Beading Diary: Lucky Winner

 I was the lucky winner of a give away over at 

catspajamas-dogstuxedos

I absolutely love these 

baby blue drop earrings. 
Which will come as no suprise to anybody that knows me.
(Baby blue is my favourite colour and as such I own A LOT 
of things in that particular shade!)

They came beautifully packaged with

a lovely card and message.

 I am really looking forward to wearing them :-)

A Purple Prezzie

Another pair of pearly lovelies. 

This time made for a friend of mine as a prezzie.

She is definitely a 'purple person' so she will, hopefully,  love these.

I have yet to meet a creative person who doesn't like the colour purple!

*PS. (They are the same length in real life, it's just the photograph!)

Party Pearls

I love these pretty pink pearls.

 I always think pearl earrings add a touch of elegance to any outfit.

Perfect for the Christmas Season!

Halloween Treats

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Drawing your attention to the most extensive range

To Snack Or Not To Snack, That Is The Question...

Sometimes a girl just needs to eat cake!

Do you find yourself reaching for the snacks as you're beading?

Or do you find that the beading keeps your hands and mind 

busy enough to forget about the nibbles? 

I know this hobby certainly shrinks my wallet, 

can it start working on the waistline too please!??

Inspire Me - Alien

This 'Inspire Me' post is taking a little bit of a dark turn. 

With Halloween approaching fast 

I wanted to use something scary to inspire this bead selection. 

The shops are full of the usual pumpkins, ghoules and ghosts 

but my mind was drawn back to something that really scared me.

The 1979 film Alien. 

Now that really is the stuff of nigthmares, 

as I am sure those of you that have watched this film will agree!

Here is my selection of Alien inspired beads:

Lava and Hematite rondels available from Mr Bead.

Hematite chip strand from Spoilt Rotten Beads.

And of course no project inspired by the film Alien

would be complete without Jones the cat!

From The Great Big Bead Shop

Jones?, ...Jones?.......Jonesey?...........

Bead Radar - Autumnal Bag Charm Kit

         

This beautiful Autumnal bag charm kit is another  find from  The Bead Shop Manchester.

Don't you think the colours are just gorgeous! 

So perfect for this time of year.

P.S -

I spy a new follower - welcome :-) 

Bead Radar - Swarovski Crystal Memory Wire Bracelet Kit

This gorgeous Swarovski Crystal and Miyuki drop bead bracelet kit

is available from The Bead Shop Manchester.

At  £8.50 it would make a great Christmas prezzie for a beady friend,
or even one for yourself!

 (Watch out when using memory wire as it's very, very tough to bend.
  
A trip to the other half's toolbox for a more substantial 
pair of round nose pliers may be in order!)
