Life seems very hectic at the moment but I am occasionally managing to fit in some beading.

We had a roller derby bootcamp all weekend plus a team fundraiser, and add to that some 15-20 mile skates a few times a week for my marathon training and a 2-day jewellery course, the past week has been wiped out.

But my beaded pot is slowly progressing.

The lid is almost done. I can't finish it until I have worked out the pattern and sizing for the base, so I have a bit more beading to do until it is finished.

On a more exciting note the seed beads for my latest kit are now winging their way to me from the Czech Republic, so sign up for my newsletter to be the first to know when this is launched.

This kit will be in a limited edition of only 26, so be the first to find out when it appears.
