In my ongoing quest to be the World's stupidest photographer I headed off yesterday ensuring I brought with me a fully-charged camera battery and my memory card. But no camera.

So thank you to Joanne Doran for taking these for me.

I had a great day and my nerves before the class about teaching two different projects at once to 19 people were unfounded- even when we had an extra person the day went really well and everyone beaded at least one finished piece.

I was teaching my Rivoli Roses (which I'm teaching very soon at StitchnCraft Beads) and also some rivoli flowers I have recently designed. The flowers were very popular, no wonder as they're fairly quick and easy to make, but don't look it- so I'll be including the instructions for those when I teach at StitchnCraft as well.

After class it was straight on the train to return home, beading all the way.
