A Muse Ink Fringe Packs back in stock

Ever since I started making the fringe packs available a couple of years ago, I always ensure that my photographs reflect the beads I used in the samples, and are the same in the bead packs so that you know exactly what you will make.

It’s not always an easy task and I am having difficulty sourcing some of the beads used in Gaia, Karneval and Santa. Rest assured that I’m working to re-design these fringes with beads I can get more easily, and will make up new samples as soon as the beads arrive.

I’ll keep you posted.

I have got Gordon weighing beads for the missing Delica Bead Packs. If we have all the Delica beads in stock, they will be available early next week, so I will update you as soon as they are back in stock.

New patterns now available

Two of my patterns that were originally included in the 2022 Advent Calendar are now available to purchase separately to download or you can request a printed copy. In both cases, the bead codes for the photographed samples are provided on the website page and also in the pattern.

The Lacy Mandala Earrings Pattern is just £2.50 and the Netted Napkin Ring Pattern is £3.00. No experience is required for either pattern and are a great way to learn new stitches.

New design for beader’s bags

I’m having a whale of a time trying to design new decals for our tote and shopping bags. These are hot off the press this morning.

They are big enough to carry your projects to your bead group, or for your bead fair visit. They make ideal gifts and raffle prizes too.

Now you can have a whale of a time too – especially while you are still building your bead stash. It’s a pleasure that will never end isn’t it? Other designs are still available.

5 designs of spacer bars added to our range

These spacer bars are now available in packs of 6, and there is also a mixed pack with 3 designs (2 of each design).

I have used similar spacer bars very successfully with the snowflake forms and here’s one I did a couple of weeks ago. I will be providing more information about our snowflake project, along with more photos, after our bead group meetings next week, so watch this space!
