Time waits for no man and as well as beading for LOOT and beading and designing my classes for next year I'm also working on packing up my Secret Christmas 2015 kit so they can begin being sent out in September.

All the 28,242 Swarovski crystals that arrived recently need diving, all the beading trays/ packaging needs making up and the needles need packaging so they'll travel safely and securely. With a bit of help from my niece we're getting there though there's still a lot of counting to do...

In-between all the packing I'm working on reconfiguring some of my beaded pieces to alter their look. The joy of work made using components is how easy this is to do and I'm enjoying playing around with pieces and design ideas.
