I’m pleased to say that the magnetic chart keepers are now back in stock.
Prices are held at £19.95, which means they also qualify for free postage.
The magnetic strips hold your pattern in place and can be used as a row indicator guide. The folding design stands upright in front of you.
Well, until recently, mine was full of sticky labels showing me which beads were which. They were good up to a point but they didn’t keep their stickiness for long.
Then I discovered alphabet beads and pinned those on instead.
As is the case with evolution I decided to spruce them up a bit with some crystals and glue them in place. Problem solved!
I needed more than 1 set but only had 1 W in the bag. I couldn’t find what I needed online so I had to buy a full bag of mixed letters. What to do with all the rest? So in the stash they went.
Then I thought, if I love these so much then wouldn’t it be great to share the idea with everyone else . So I bought some more bags and with a lot of sorting out I was soon able to make up more sets. Now they are available for you to buy from the Accessory page of our shop (or just search for pins), and each set comes in a hand-made box so it makes an ideal gift.
I just love beading, don’t you?
All our bicones can now be viewed by colour or by size. Bicones are Chinese, unless they are specified as Preciosa (made in Czech Republic).
If you view by colour, you can then look at the options to see what sizes we have available.
If you view by size, you will see only the colours that are available in that size, and then you can look at the options to see all the other sizes sizes available too.
I have completed some more sheets that give you a basic introduction to stitches, with more on the way. They have now been uploaded to the website and are free to download.
Now included: Chenille stitch, CRAW and Cellini Spiral.

Manda Kent-Burns from The Jacobeadery will be coming to The Beading Room sometime soon to run a workshop for a Hussif.
