On Friday Kina and I went to the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is probably one of the largest bead show is the US, other than the ones in Tuscon, Arizona. I took my camera to the show, but was too wrapped up in the atmosphere to remember to take photos on the day. It was lovely to see Lisa Peters and her Mum, Donna again, and to meet Facebook friend Carol Dean Sharpe for the first time – I hope you had a great show Carol!
This is what was added to Merlin’s hoard at the show:
Last week I was on Facebook chatting to Jen about wire work and wirework tools, and she asked me if I would like to write a guest blog for her blog over at Beading Daily, an offshoot of Beadwork magazine. If you would like to see the result, here is a link to the article:
Which Wire Cutters Are Best For Me?
If you are visiting this blog from the link on Beading Daily, welcome and I hope you enjoy the website.
I haven’t blogged much over the last few months, some of you may know the reasons for this. I’m beginning to work on some new jewellery pieces again, this time at my own pace. As of today I am 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant, so I am taking each day as it comes, some days I have lots of energy to bead, and other days not so much. I’m in the middle of writing up a couple of designs as patterns and I hope to have them available soon.
