I'm sitting in France half-way through my geometric beadwork weekend and having a fantastic time!

It is a lovely group of beaders (3 from England and 8 from France) who are all talented, friendly women who are all now already geometric experts.

It has been a lovely day filled with beading, gifts, beadwork and laughs which have broken down the language barriers and I'm pleased to say all my nerves (which got increasingly worse until this morning I was wondering why on earth I had thought this was a good idea and trying to figure out how to get out of it) proved unfounded and I will be back to France for more so start putting in your requests for what you'd like me to teach.

Check back soon for pictures of what everyone has produced and a full account of events.
