5 Years Blogging! and Beads for You

After I heard about Lisa Chin's blog anniversary, I thought I would check how long it has been I have had this blog. And I realised that my 5 year 'bloggiversary' was today, the 16th of October. Hard to believe it has been that long!

My friend Helen helped me to set up the blog. I am really glad she did. It has been a big help to keep me productive and on task when I am working on projects. I often wrote things I worked on or made down in a diary before I had the blog. But with the blog I have been more consistent about keeping track. I really enjoy writing about the process of designing and making. It is also useful to record inspirational things I encounter as well.

So, I decided to make some of my fabric beads as a give away. The safety pin bead project for this week was in colours of pink and purple... and I had some prefused purpley-pink fabric from the 'Cloud Puppy'. So, that is the colour I went with.

So I have 3 sets to give away. Leave a comment and you might get a set sent to you! The comments will be open til Sunday when I post this week's beading project. It is actually a double celebration because on Friday it will also be my 1300th post!

Remember the photos are close ups, so these are all fairly tiny.

SET 1 -

SET 2 -

SET 3 -

If you would like to have a chance to get one of these sets, please leave a comment. I will close comments on Sunday the 20th October.

Remember if you have no reply blogger, I won't be able to contact you personally. I don't allow anonymous comments because of the amount of spam I was getting. So, if you click on my profile at the top of the sidebar you can access my email address and send a comment that way. Please make a note that it is a blog comment for the beads so I don't wonder why I am getting a random email from someone!
