A very early start today to head to Darlington and Not The Norm to teach 2 days of classes.

Sadly unable to snooze on the long train journey I instead managed to get some beading done and worked on my bracelet version of my Icos pieces for a while until I ran out of beads- oops. This project, and the pendants, will be available as kits and a pattern in February so make sure you sign up for my newsletter to find out when and get the discount code towards the pattern.

Today's class was my Sticks & Stones series and everyone got off to a great start and managed to bead all types of components and then begin work on their own finished pieces. It was great to finally teach the class and see how inspired people were by it and the components they created. Between us we came up with at least 20 more variations we could create just by manipulating the layout of the components. Now I just need to bead them all!
