Bead retreat is nearly here!!

I am so excited, some of the bead buddies have planned bead retreat weekend and its nearly here just two more sleeps. I cannot wait we had such a lovely time last year and I learnt loads too. We are staying on this lovely farm in Derbyshire and this year Madgy is coming too!! ( will have to watch her near all those sheeps!!!!!!



I have been busy preparing got all my beads together and route planned, new pyjamas and jeans too!! Its gonna be nice to have a step out of my hectic life and chill out. Hubby is gonna be left looking after his girlies and remaining pets!! Poor Spotty ( my cat) no Mummy cuddles for a couple of days!!!!!!!

I did manage a bit of shed time at the weekend and played around making my own murinni, at first i really had a job pulling it out even but kept at it and gots some nice results in the end. Here are some beads I made with them:-




































I really love bracelets and as its now summer thought I would make myself some to add to my ever growing collection and came up with this


















I quite like it it's nice and chunky, so I am thinking of making a whole collection sooooo made these beads for my next one!!
























Will show you when I finish it, might match them with some more of my lampies and see what I come up with.

Catch up next week with all the goss on the beady weekend xxx
