I headed off to Dorset early this morning to visit StitchnCraft Beads and teach my Marun class.

I must have been tired setting off as I managed to grab a banana, some bead and some thread before leaving the house... but no needles or beading mats. So I snoozed and ate the banana instead.

The class was great and it was really lovely to see the different coloured variations appear over the day.

Whilst beading it and then writing the instructions I had somewhat of a panic about how advanced it was and whether people would be able to understand my tricky changes of direction and sneaky beading manoeuvres but all went well and it proved to be no way near as hard as I had imagined even though everyone was working in tiny size 15 seeds and Delicas.

The worst thing is now I want to bead another one... but I don't have the necessary 60 or so hours spare.

After class Mr Jean Power and myself headed further into Dorset to stay for the night before an early morning drive the next day to my next class.
