How on earth did that happen?

How did Christmas suddenly appear and I’m the last to realise?

In 12 days time we will be sitting around, full up, a little merry, totally exhausted. Kids will be high on junk, and there will be mess everywhere and a kitchen full of pots and pans. I cant wait!

For us its a quiet Christmas this year, with the kids all at their respective houses and we’re all not getting together until the 28th, so its going to be a little odd.

Ive got one more order to complete and we’re done. That will be finished by Friday, but we’re not just kicking back and doing nothing. There’s a fair bit of work going on at the minute to get ready to release four new kits at the very beginning of 2024. There’s a whole lot of stitching, typing, drawing, photographing, boxing and then uploading the info onto the website and to Etsy.

Before that, I’m going to drown in wrapping paper and go to battle in the supermarket in order to bag the turkey!

Stay well my friends.

See you next week,

Hey all,

Well its been a week of no progress this past week. Been in bed ill and have fallen so far behind with everything, so now I’m busy playing catch up!

So……. this weeks news?

We’ve started making moves to open up our own Bead Bank.

The Bead Bank is an online version of my ultimate dream, a bead shop filled with a gorgeous selection of beads from anywhere we find them. I spend an inordinate amount of time search and finding beads and want to share some of those finds with you guys so that’s what we’re going to do!

Beads will be added in coming weeks. The initial offer will be seed beads size 6,8,10 and 11. In addition, there will be bugles and the odd sequin! As we progress there will be a whole lot more on offer.

Beads will vary in pack size, but there will be more than enough to complete projects that you are working on.

We will also be adding our Bead Bank Surprise Boxes, quite simply these are boxes of 100g of varying beads that I choose from our overall stock. They will be a total surprise for you when they arrive. Within the box there will be ten bags of 10g beads but you will have no idea what will be coming.

This is a great way to build your collection.

|We will also be offering our monthly Bead Bank Boxes, these are again, 100g, but will be themed and you will be able to see them on this website. For instance, our January box will cover Valentines colours, to give you time to make whatever you are planning in time for Valentines. The colours will be appropriate for each theme and will be in a range of sizes and types.

To celebrate the Bead Bank launch, we are also completing a giveaway, not just for you to have a chance of winning, but also a friend that  you nominate will have the chance of winning too!

Watch out on Facebook and Instagram for more details in the next couple of days.

Finally, we will be doing another giveaway competition on Dec1st, this will be our Christmas launch and will offer the opportunity to win something from our website.

Well that’s it for today my friends, I’m off to make Horlicks and rest my poorly head in preparation for all of the photos i will be taking in the next two days!

 

Lots of love to you and yours.
