my creative space...

I returned to a craft I'd kind of said a fleeting farewell to. Jewellery making that is.  You name it I used to make it.  As a little girl I loved all things about beads and could sit for hours with some thrifted necklaces cut up and restrung to make something new.   But sometimes you can take the girl from the craft but you can't take the craft out of the girl.

Inspired by some latest trends in fabric and beaded bib necklaces, I thought I might just have enough bead and bits and bobs to make my own.

To my surprise when I pulled out my stash that has been sitting idle in the back of my craft cupboard I was astounded just how diverse and extensive my little collection was.

Without planning I started threading some beads onto a scrap of denim and then found some small scraps of silk and a bit of velvet ribbon and in less than an hour, I had a new accessory (without spending a cent) - well, I didn't go out and specifically buy anything if that counts.....

Seems like this craft can't escape me after all!  for more creative types - head over here!
