My latest star is finished and, after a trip to my local bead shop, hanging from a colourful strap. I really couldn't resist the perfect green and copper ribbons and bought some extra blues for the other star I'm going to make. Pleasingly I worked out a simply way to use them so that I can swap different colours and thicknesses in whenever I want to alter it.

The rest of my day is going to be spent beading away. I have so much to do and it's not helped by me last night noticing an error in a project which means I'm ONE bead out on a piece. I need to take my scissors to it, losing ten hours of work and having to start again. As you can imagine I'm not jumping to do that just yet.
