Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well and had a lovely Easter weekend :-) I was back to work today but only for one day because i've got a few days off and not back until next Tuesday. Saying that it's the schools hols so no doubt I will be kept busy!!!
I am still loving my new hobby so when I popped across to the Beading Friends Forever blog yesterday I was thrilled to see I was the lucky winner for March and my prize is £15 to spend at Beads Direct :-)
Here is my entry for Part 1 of April's challenge which is to make a jewellery set.
For the bracelet I used the Hugs & Kisses tutorial from Andycraft Beads and the earrings were a free tutorial from Around the Beading Table called Trinket Earrings
* Items Used *
4 mm & 6 mm Fire Polished Czech glass beads ~ Capri Blue
4mm crystal bicones
11/0 Gold seed beeds
Gold plated clasp and earring wires
The 2nd part of the challenge is a Kumihimo tutorial. Well I must have had a premonition because I had ordered a Kumihimo set at the weekend prior to the new challenge being announced. Not sure I will be able to do it but can't wait to have a go!!

Congratulations on your prize - enjoy spending it!
Love the colours you've chosen for this set - really rich and a lovely design too!
Kumihimo is good fun, but beware it is very addictive once you get into the 'rhythm' you'll soon master it and see just how easy it is to get great results.
