I cant believe its been nearly 6 months since I last posted. Things have been somewhat busy here, with my eldest in his GCSE year, and looking to do well, He wants to go to 6th form in september for A-levels, and then onto the RAF to do aviation engineering. He turns 16 next week, and I cant believe he is almost a grown up already.
For now, onto what I have been doing recently. A foray into chain maille, and seed beads (I know, I swore I would never used seed beads), but I am, and loving them at that.

Here are some of my seed beaded creations, including a tassle ring, and a cellini spiral bracelet (which i made too small and only fits my 9 year old).
I have also had my first picture published in a magazine, my chainmaille Stars necklace, the picture of that is below.

I am so pleased with how this necklace turned out (and the matching earrings) as it was the first time I had taken a design in chainmaille, and turned it into something. The original star came from a tutorial on pinterest, and I turned it into a necklace. its a large and heavy piece, so totally different from my usual style, but I think it works so well.
Anyway, I have to run, as its the final year 11 parents evening tonight, and I have to leave soon. TTFN..........
