As crazy as it seems my mind has been on Christmas 2015 for a while as I've beaded the project for the advent secret bead-along, ordered all the supplies and begun kitting it up.

The kit went on sale today (exclusive to those who took part last year for 2 weeks and then on general sale from the 3rd August- hence the 'fake' prices there at the moment, to see the real price just remove the '5' at the beginning of each one).

This has been a fun design to bead as I had a vague outline in my head of what I wanted but no idea if it would be possible to bead. Many months of experiments later it all came to fruition only for me to discover Swarovski had discontinued the essential stones- arrgghhh!

But I've managed to buy up all they had left in the warehouse and the kit got back on track. I'm really excited to see this one be beaded heading towards Christmas as it's unlike anything I've beaded, or seen, before.
