It's not as hot today but there's no breeze which makes for a sweaty day.

The number of people signing up for my National Beading Week secret bead-along has gone up & up and with all the groups/ shops etc added in there's a good 3,000 plus people doing it- crazy!

Some people have started already which is exciting, though I have asked them to keep all photos of work in progress hidden until the specific week just so the surprise isn't ruined for anyone.

In order to have a place for chatter and photos of the bead-along I've set up a Facebook page and you can already check out what colours people have been using to do their preparation work. I already shared my colours here back in April (but didn't say what they were for) but here's another peek at them.
