Haydock Park Update

We had a very busy day at the Bead Festival yesterday and the Drop In To Bead Workshop was constantly busy. So much so that I had to hunt out some more supplies – thanks to Beading Amazing, Jencel and Gemstone Boutique for donating beads.

The pattern for our dragonfly is now available to download free of charge from https://www.halfpenneys.co.uk/product/quick-and-easy-dragonfly-pattern-have-a-go-at-this-quick-and-easy-beading-project-2/. Enjoy!

These fabulous hand-made beading travel pouches are now available on-line. Each one is different so what you see on the photo is the one you get. Sometimes we get several of the same outer fabric, but the bead mat and/or zip will be different. There will only ever be a maximum of 6 designs available online, but we do have more in stock, so if you can’t decide which to choose then you can go for a lucky dip and get a nice surprise when it arrives.
