Getting ready for a 3day craft event in a nearby village and needed to get back to my beading roots. The event is all about demonstrating your craft and very child focused so I thought the best way to engage the little ones would be the same thing that had me pick up beads for the first time. I am in the middle of making herds of beaded animals and this got me collecting patterns in the last few weeks resulting in a pinterest album with well over 100 free patterns. Impressive, isn't it? :)
It would be a shame to keep this a seecret so here it is for all to see:

If you would like to meet me and learn a few basic beading tricks, this is the event you can find me at over the Bank Holiday.
