Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a grand time over Christmas - I had two weeks at home with the family, no cooking, no cleaning... it was ace ! (Sorry, Mum!)

I made a bundle of new glasses chains, and finished a few more Christmas ornaments.
Which is what I've got to show you today.

Better late than never, I guess...

These were made using glass beads and silver coloured spacers. The shape is a ready made snowflake available from Beadsmith.
They're effective, but my oh my, are they hard work! I bent pliers twisting the ends round. Next time I think I'll be gluing bead caps on the end!

There are shiny blues and turquoises:

 

Shiny red and green ones...

 

And shiny purple and silver ones. Which are available the right way up!

I give up - I've spent an hour trying to straighten these photos!

Beard Bells

You may have seen Beard Baubles taking the internet by storm...
Of course I have to jump on that band wagon.

Introducing Beard Bells!!

Tiny jingle bells attached to hair grips!
