I love beading in grey, especially one with a bit of an AB coating such as this Delica #1579 as they really let other colours shine such as the pop I got when I added in the silver #1831.

I'm busy working on new classes for but also having fun revisiting previous classes and beading new variations of them or completely reimagining them. This is my original Connesso necklace but I've beaded 2 new ones this week so look out for these being a class in 2022…

It's pouring with rain and very grey outside, but playing with variations of the Summer 2021 Secret Beadalong in these happy colours is a good dose of sunshine for me (the colours I'm using are in the requirements file along with others too so have a look at that if you want to know what they are).

20+ years of beading means I have many, many bags & boxes like this one full of small samples and unfinished projects (or even finished ones which have somehow worked their way in there).

I love when anyone shares a photo with me of work they've done from one of my classes, videos, patterns or kits etc as not only does it spur me on to create new projects and inspires me with ideas (and colours schemes!) but it also adds some beading, colour & sparkle to my day, so thank you all.

I'm going to be launching my 'Lisa Pattern' for sale soon and before I do so I wanted to make sure the project works with Preciosa crystals in case anyone can't get hold of the Swarovski ones it was designed for.
