Misty

Evening!  

Have been on a "mini-break" as one of my friends would say, 

Hubby and I were away for 1 night,  we stayed in lovely Hotel in Broughty Ferry, Dundee

and today we visited St Andrews!  Had a great time, but blimey it was Brrrr.

  I was thankful I had packed my boots, and gloves - but could

have done with woolie hat too!  The joys of Scottish Weather.

Now that I am home, indoors, nice and warm

it's time to give you a post of the day!

This little beauty was my Niece's birthday card from Last year,

she loves Horses!

of the Rosette I made!

Glad I went a walk at lunchtime, as it was glorious then, 

 but it was chucking it down at 5pm.

Hermatite & Firepolish Bracelet

Good Evening

Thought it has been a while since I

Posted some beading, so here is another finished project that I

made at my local beading group.

I like the above picture, as you can clearly see the square shape

that was made with seed beads - the original pattern was for Tube Beads, but 

this seemed to fray the thread, so we had to adapt the pattern!

Ingredients: 

Pattern:  Hermatie & Firepolish Bracelet from Foxden Designs

distributed by Bead-Patterns.com

 size 11, Seed Beads

size 3mm, Fire Polish 

Beading Thread

Magnetic Clasp
