A lot of mixed feelings today.

I'm happy as I had a lovely day teaching at the always wonderful Stitchncraft Beads and got to spend the day with fabulous beaders all working hard on my Heart of Glass project.

I'm also sad because it was my last-ever scheduled class for this wonderful venue which has done so much to support me and other designers & teachers from around the world, whilst also being a welcoming & supportive place for beaders to visit.

But I'm also excited as they will still be going strong, just on a different path, and we'll all still get to support them as a great online and mail-order shop.
They'll also still be supporting us designers by stocking patterns & kits and selling the materials needed for our projects.
Plus they'll also still be supporting us beaders by feeding our bead-buying habits!

So while I'm sad I won't get to see Lynn, Kevin, Jen, Sabrina, Kelly & Gill as much, I know they'll be at the end of the phone for all my bead needs and I'm excited that I still get to support such a great UK beading company.
