No creations?

I've not done much in terms of creation these last few days - too hectic with social events and doing things here and there. Here's hoping this weekend things will change! 

 I now have a considerable stash of beads... and I need to work them before the enthusiasm switches to something else. I would also love to be able to photograph them properly but I need to take some leave in order to do so.  Hopefully the weekend is here and I can take some time to do that, before I go swimming. Of course a swim is on the cards - too hot to do anything else.

Oriental Dream

Well here I'm at it again! I bought some lovely bead collections from Sabrika's in various ethnical colours - Oriental Promise, Pink Garden, Forest Green, Seascape Tones and Tropical Sea - and got into this 'making' frenzy. So I decided to post some of them here. This first one is my Oriental Dream Necklace, on sale on Etsy . I made it while unable to sleep, at two o'clock in the morning. I was thinking of re-visiting the Far East, in particular India or Thailand.  I am quite pleased with the outcome, needless to say.  Find it on etsy, or else contact me through the comments below if you want something custom-made for yourself. Here is a picture!

Cellini Twist Jewellery?

I saw a tutorial on Beadsdirect's blog (via youtube) ... and it is for jewellery with a cellini twist. I'm so tempted to make it... but I do think that I shall first try something easier, with less skill required.  The twists are absolutely gorgeous and I would like to have them but i am not sure about the bead sizes I have - apparently the different sizes give the build a twist... We shall see! Thanks for the inspiration and tutorials, Beads Direct!

Winter ...

It's suddenly turned chillier, and of course we're getting rain a tad more often. All of a sudden I've realised that I've not finished my summer projects (at least 3 left, with yarn and patterns handy) and have yet to start my winter stuff. I definitely have some gifts to make, but I'm now seriously wondering whether they will be ready on time. One of them is half way there but it's still too warm to handle such thick yarn. In this country each season is so short that you have to knit really quickly for that season, or you'll miss the boat. Of course, I am trying to keep my own limitations in mind. When the party season opens, which is soon. I get less time to do my own knits and often have to prepare for a party, or spend a lot of time resting afterwards. Still, I plan to make the maximum effort possible to at least have a few projects to be proud of this winter!
