It's nearly Halloween!!!

It's nearly here and I have just uploaded 2 patterns to The (Virtual) Beading Room for you to download. There is my pumpkin charms design available as a full pattern with step-by-step instructions and diagrams for brick stitch or as a chart only.
I have also added my hot-off-the-press design for this year - a spider's web brooch, complete with spider and fly!
There is a full kit option too and this will be available on the main site later this week.

Happy Halloween!

Christmas Tree Pattern

I have had this Christmas kit for a little while and following several requests yesterday at the Uxbridge Bead Fair, the pattern is now available to download. It is a great introduction to brick stitch and is only £2.50.
Get yours now from www.virtual.halfpenney.co.uk or follow the links to The (Virtual) Beading Room from the main site.

New festive designs

I have just added 3 new patterns to The (Virtual) Beading Room - www.virtual.halfpenney.co.uk.

There are 2 wine bottle covers and 1 bauble cover. The bottle covers can of course be used over any bottle! The netted bottle cover is the quickest to make and you can dress your up even more by swapping out the little firepolished beads for Christmas beads or charms. After making the swagged wine bottle cover I decided to go a step further and create a companion bauble cover. So here are the results.

Pattern £2.00

What a Great Day

And what better day to launch my new chart than the day Queen Elizabeth II becomes the longest reigning UK monarch?

We have had a Union Jack design available on our pens, pencils and key rings for some time, but now you can download a chart for this iconic flag. It is charted in even count peyote stitch and if you need help with the stitch you can download my introductory guide for free. It makes a super brooch too.

The chart will normally sell for £1.50, but from today and for the rest of September you can download it FOR FREE! You will find it at The (Virtual) Beading Room under brooches and non-jewellery.
