Back in September I launched my first secret bead-a-long kit and I was delighted when it sold out so quickly and eager for December to begin so it could all start.

It's been a nerve-wracking time making sure the project and instructions made sense and that everyone was able to bead it without any photos of the finished item (a lot harder that it sounds!).

But all that has been outweighed by all the photos of finished pieces I have been receiving. Getting to see the ornaments hanging on trees, in windows and in one case being magnificently worn, has been great and I can finally share my piece with you too.

This was definitely an advanced project and the finished piece is pretty spectacular and sparkly!

I hope to repeat this project next Christmas and also have a different bead-a-long during 2015 where you supply your own materials so make sure to sign up to my newsletter to find out when they happen.
