I also bought some shelves for my really useful boxes so they can be pulled out like drawers instead of having to unstack them [which obviously I could never be bothered to do] - they arrived at work on Friday in 6 enormous boxes and wouldn't fit in my car until they had been unpacked and the boxes folded up [all in the driving rain so I looked like a drowned rat by the time I got back to my desk - and it took from 10:30 to 3pm for my trousers to finally dry out - jumper went on the radiator & I wore my cardigan], then took over an hour to unload from the car and assemble in the attic once I got home.
I spent yesterday trying to get to the bottom of the paperwork that has stacked up in the study so I can re-house some toys from the attic to the study for my grandkids to play with [when it is eventually tidy enough for them to be able to come and stay - they may have grown out of the toys by that point!].
So instead of current papercraft projects I thought I'd share some of my beaded creations with you this week.
a choker with trailing back
my first [and only] attempt at designing for a loom
a dutch spiral necklace using multiple sized beads
and a free form bracelet - I enjoy free form work as it is really the only time you don't have instructions so it seems more creative to me
I haven't done much beading since I let the caravan go because I haven't got any clear space, but I'm booked on the Beadworkers Guild great bead show in May [only 1 of the 3 classes I wanted to do is confirmed but I'm hoping if the others don't run that there will be room on different classes for me] and I'm hoping to have re-discovered my mojo before then.
Having said I haven't done much recently - this is a bauble I made for my mum for xmas [I make her something for her tree every year] but it was from a kit.
