Day one

I decided this summer to challenge myself to overcome my phobia of bead smaller than a 20p peice ... so i purchased a stack of seed beads , Muyuki Delicas, Czech 11's , Berry beads,  & Myujki drops to name but a few....


Just a couple of months ago this would have all been a foreign language to me, But i decided it was time to face my fear of these little bleeders and get on with it. 
I made a couple of fringe bracelets to build my confidence and to get used to handling these specks of sand  masquerading as beads  and surprisingly I found  i quite enjoyed it!


Im currently practicing beading around a cabochon and hope to design an embroidered cuff before the summer ends. A huge task for a less than confident beginner....
but i figure its like giving up smoking, the more people you tell..... you just have to go through with it! 
I hope to keep this blog updated with my progress (if any!) and keep me focused on the task at hand.


Happy Beading!

Here are a couple of my seedie makes which sparked my interest in  the pesky bleeders :)
