Xmas Crafting Fun

I officially have pretty much no excuse for updating this blog has beeen  now that I've an android phone.  In theory I should be able to update this now from almost anywhere. 

So the last month or so has been about the build up to that dreaded time of year - Xmas, or Yule as I prefer to call it. 

I have found some great beads recently that mean I can try out a few new things.  I found some rounded drop beads which helped me make a few Nepal Flower Bud bracelets.  Then I found some really small triangle shaped beads.  Had no ideas for them when I bought them. When I got home I remembered a tutorial for two drop dutch spiral, that called for an interesting highlight bead.  Perfect!  Now I am recycling watch parts to make steampunk inspired necklaces.

Unfortunately I can't share any pics of my new pieces witg you for now.  I don't want any of my friends and family to read this blog and guess which gift is theirs!  Therefore I will share pics with you once Yule is over.

I have to go now and drink coffee.  Lots of crafting to do today and not much time to do it in.  *crosses fingers* hopefully I will finish this little lot in time for Yule.
