Thought I would not bore you with some buttons tonight. Hooray I hear you say. Instead I will make you suffer by viewing my beaded ring which I created and embellished (good word eh) with those little glass flower beads I am so in love with.
First attempt at the band of beads for the ring was a disaster. I somehow managed to get the beading going length ways instead of width ways and when I came to zip it up, no of the beads would slot into each other. How unbelievably annoying is that. I was also being distracted by the Olympics on the TV as well so perhaps I didn’t quite think it through properly before I embarked on it. But thats me all over, act before you think.
The beading itself isn’t too bad once you get into the swing of it. Its a bit fiddly but then after a couple of rows it starts to take shape.
I think the hardest thing was to decide on what colour to use. Word to the wise, take the beads out of the plastic tube first as they do look a different colour.
I thought I would give this to one of my friends, I can hear them all praying that its not them who is the lucky recipient of it. I would wear it but then again I did make it so I have to say that really don’t I.
It’s a pity I hadn’t made one of these before as I am sure that Kate would have worn one at her wedding.
See you soon
Mrs Ladybird Cottage
