I’ve been away the last few days at the Great British Bead Show in Daventry<\/a>, where I’ve had a fantastic time. On Friday I did a course in chain maille<\/a> with Jean Power<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"chain<\/p>\n

Then on Saturday I made a wirework loom vessel with Sandra Wallace…<\/p>\n

\"Wire<\/p>\n

I haven’t quite finished it – I still need to make a base for it, and finish off all the wire ends. Then today I enjoyed a chance to look around the bead fair, where I was VERY restrained and only bought<\/p>\n

  • some findings from GJ Beads<\/a><\/li>\n
  • some nymo from Spangles<\/a><\/li>\n
  • and these cabs from Urchin Glass<\/li>\n

    \"cabs\"<\/p>\n

    and I DIDN’T buy any of the other lampwork beads I wanted, or the books.
    \nAnd of course on Saturday night was the most<\/strong> exciting thing that happened to me this weekend. Each year I enter the     BWG challenge<\/a>. This year the theme was ‘In Full Bloom’ and I entered a flower fairy doll, using the doll I made way back in January<\/a> – and SHE WON THE MEMBERS CHOICE<\/strong>. This is where the people who attended the GBBS on the Friday and Saturday got to vote for their favourite entry in the competition.<\/p>\n

    \"Doll<\/p>\n

    \"Doll<\/p>\n

    \"Doll<\/p>\n

    I won a rosette, a certificate, and Jane’s case from the Craft Kit Company<\/a><\/p>\n

    Before I left for Daventry, I had a quick look at the nest box, and we’re up to eight eggs<\/p>\n

    \"eight<\/p>\n

    Rob’s been manning the fort at Patching’s this weekend, and he tells me that there are still eight eggs, and she’s spending a lot of time in the nest box now, so it seems she’s started sitting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
