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.

Some of our crystals were missing!

Don't worry, we have now found them and they have been added to our crystal bicone range.
The missing ones were 02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 07. They are available in 3mm and 4mm priced at £2.50 for 50, and in 5mm and 6mm priced at £2.50 for 25. Take a look at the colours on our website page.

Facebook

Yep! We have finally got there.
We have opened up a facebook for Halfpenney's
I know it has been a long time coming.
We will have easy access from our web site soon, and -- now we have to think of things to put on?

I'm sure you don't want to hear about our Christmas antics, what with a barbeque on Christmas eve, an edible garden (all Kathy's inspiration) on Boxing day, jiving on New Years eve, a long walk to get a new Norton Internet security disc followed by more dancing of modern sequence and - you've guessed it - more jiving.
Think I'll go and lie down.

In the meantime I will think of some more beady things to say, whilst Kathy gets back to her beaded houses.
