These sparkly beads are a staple for many beaders around the world. I've been fortunate enough to explore several bead factories in the 'Crystal Valley' in Czechia and get to see beads being born up close! In my latest video I share with you the ...

    A quick tip for you today! 💜 I had fun re-visiting odd-count peyote stitch recently when I was updating my Mr Crab Scissor Charm. Sometimes it’s a really handy stitch, for example if you need certain designs to sit centrally in a scene you might need odd count! But the turn at the end of the alternate rows can be confusing. Here’s how to do it! #beading #beadingtips #delicabeads #peyotestitch #beadweaving #maker #beadedjewelry #miyukibeads

    Fun fact for you, I actually have a big fear of real cacti 🌵 ever since dropping one on my foot as a kid (which resulted in a very sore and swollen foot!) which is why I absolutely LOVE cute not-real cacti paraphernalia - all the cuteness without the risk of injury! Hence my beaded cacti! 🌵 The newest cacti design to hit my collection is my aptly named Cacti Collection Beaded Tape Measure, which features a motley collection of different cacti. The pattern also includes instructions for making a matching scissor charm. 💕 #cacti #cactus #succulents #beader #delicabeads #miyukibeads #perlen #peyotestitch #tapemeasure #toolkit #stitching #stitchersofinstagram

    A little peek at my messy desk! While I do get to play with beads a lot it’s mainly in the evenings after the tiny beader is in bed. The majority of my work day while she’s at school is actually spent at my computer! Writing up patterns, drawing diagrams, editing photos, looking after my social media, editing videos, endless spreadsheets and emails! 😬 I still love it though! #smallbizowner #beader #maker #mumpreneur #jewellerydesign #jewellerymaker #jewellerydesigner #craftbiz #makingjewelry

    When your non-beading friends jump at the chance to have a see what you actually do and come round for dinner and beading, what’s not to love!💜 So happy to have been able to share my craft with these lovely, supportive ladies. I met these gals in my previous life in corporate. They’ve always really supported me and we love to meet each month for dinner. We’ve been trying out different things on our monthly get togethers, such as pottery painting. It was my turn to host, so I was thrilled when I suggested a spot of beading… and they all jumped at the chance! It was weirdly a bit scary to be in teacher mode with this gang, and I was nervous before, but actually once we started it was just fab. We chatted, ate lots of crisps and they all turned out some beautiful jewellery they were all super happy with! 🥰🥰🥰 Have you shared your hobby with friends who were new to it?

Technically this is a not a NEW design as this pattern is a retired workshop project. 😬 But it’s the first time it’s been available as a pattern! It’s a great introduction to beaded bezels and is suitable for beginner - intermediate Beaders. I’ll show you how to create these sparkling (and addictive) components, and turn them into pendants, statement rings, a rainbow necklace and even a cuff. The instructions for all of these projects are included in the tutorial!

    After beads like SuperDuos have been pressed they need to be sorted to remove all the offcuts and debris.

    A sneaky tip for making the most of your beaded own wraps! Not only can you change the cartridge on Pilot G2 pens (these babies are refillable) but I’ve also twigged that this means you can switcharoo your wraps too! So if you get bored, or you decide you want to change the way round of your wrap or your own breaks, then you can really easily remove the wrap! Obvious - yes but as I didn’t twig this immediately I figured it might be helpful to you! 😆😁😁 #beading #beadedpen #penwrap #peyotestitch #delicabeads #tigerprint #beadweaving
