What a great day. I know it is now nearly week since the bead fair was on at Wincanton but things have been hectic here with trying to sort things out for the website.
I went to Wincanton with my mum, its so nice to get out just me and mum. There were loads of stalls including one held by a lady called Francesca Lawrence. She had loads of fantastic hand made wooden tools and she was demo-ing how to make beads with paper and wool, it was so exciting that mum and I bought a whole kit. I also bought a bead spinner, I have been looking for one for ages and those that I had seen tended to be on the expensive side. This one is a beautiful wooden one and it only cost me £22!!! I also bought a book by Suzen Millodot called 'Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery'. It is great, and has given me loads of ideas for how I can string up some of the more chunky beaded beads I make.
Developments on the bead group. I decided that I would like to join a bead group but there aren't any in my area so I thought 'why not try to set one up myself' so I did. We are very small at the moment which is fine because we meet in my dining room. I have had 2 new ladies contact me so hopefully our numbers will double at the next meeting.
Anyhow, better go. Lots to bead, things to do for the online shop etc etc....
