Back from Austria and to all the work that has piled up in my absence- so of course I'm procrastinating and browsing the internet instead and thought I'd let you know about some of my favourite bead and jewellery websites to visit as well as some I've newly discovered.

Radical Cross Stitch- some amazing work being done using forms of needlework
The work of Devorah Sperber
Noelle Mason
Beth McMillan and her great cartoons
Mr X Stitch
One of the best ways to waste hours- choose colours and this website searches 10 million photos on Flcikr to find ones with your choices in
The fabulous work of Meeellla on Deviant Art and her website
The Lone Beader (always a favourite as I love to watch her work grow)

Just to upset us all here's a photo of some of the view from the panoramic bar I was sitting drinking at 48 hours ago.
