OPEN DAY AT THE BEADING ROOM

HERE’S A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - SUNDAY 5^TH MAY.

Come along and see the fantastic exhibit that will have been unveiled for the first time at our Haydock Park Bead Fair on 28^th April.

We’re keeping it under wraps until the fair but I will post some photos afterwards. Then, you can come and see it here at The Beading Room on 5^th May.

We’ll be open 1pm – 5pm, so do feel free to come along and see the exhibit and you can also buy some beads or have a go at beading!!

So don’t miss out – come and join us for “Beads and Biscuits” (and tea or coffee) on May 5^th, especially if you missed the Fair.

 

Want to order by phone?

Do you prefer to browse the web then order by phone and pay on your card but found this was not available to you on our web site? Well, wait no longer. We can now accept orders over the phone and take payment by card.  If you still prefer to send us a cheque then this is ok too.   

Don't forget out motto: if we're in, we're open. If we're out when you ring just leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. It also means that we are often here in the evenings, so you can order later in the day if you want.

Postage is still free if the order is over £15! If the order is £15 or less, postage is £1.50.

Web site changes

We are working to improve our web site so over the next few months you may see a few changes. The first change that has already happened is that the tabs at the top of the page now have a drop down menu which will make it easier for you to find things. We'll try to keep you updated as we go and I'm really looking forward to a major addition to our range - more of that later....

Let us know if you have any comments about the changes we are making.

Other beads added to the range

We have added 2 new colours to the Miyuki size 11 seed beads. For the first time, we have bought some twisted bugles - Miyuki 6mm - and in 2 colours. Check them out.

How easy are our kits?

This is a difficult one! I always write instructions with new beaders in mind, so our kits are ideal for new or experienced beaders. Some kits have only 1 stitch so are more straight forward, others may have a combination of stitches or variations so will take a bit more time and perhaps more thought. So we have come up with a range of symbols to help you decide which one to do. Take a look at the kits pages and see for yourself.

Spring is on the way - new kits are already here

If you've been on our Facebook page you will see our little snowdrop. So, yes, spring must be on the way. In preparation I have produced 2 new kits.

The first is a bracelet adorned with spring flowers all made with seed beads. The workshop sample was much admired by visitors to the Beading Room so I have made it available to everyone. The Spring Flowers Bracelet Kit is now available in 2 colours - bluebell and pink - and is priced at just £7.95.

The second kit is another design by Margaret Jones that I just loved as soon as I saw her wearing it. Seed beads, crystals and bugles are used for The Queen of Diamonds Bracelet Kit which  is available in 2 colours - Topaz and Sapphire - and is priced at £14.25.
