it's been a while...

Hi Ladies

It's been a while...actually nearly a whole year & so much has happened in between posts.  I got a little off track if I'm honest.  At the end of last year I had a little break & then the beginning of this year went by in a flash because I was working on a beautiful beading project for the West End.  I literally worked on that for months & right up until 24 hours before my Miami holiday....which caused manic packing :)  Then, when we came home (roasted & covered in mosquito bites) a little post holiday crash because I'd got so used to working like a crazy person that the free (or freer) time freaked me out a little.
I've taken some time & now I'm back into my most favourite thing...beading, but this time my own designs.  I have loved beading since that very first day (a Tuesday) when I met the tutor at the London College of Fashion who came to teach our costume class beading & embroidery.  As soon as I finished that first class I was hooked...
So flash forward 22 years & I've got lots of projects on the go.  First things first, a beach bag for my upcoming holiday with H (I'm taking vitamin B1 & drinking endless glasses of tonic to hopefully avoid the mosquitos...) & then lots & lots of one of a kind pieces for my etsy shop www.etsy.com/SeasonalSisters :)
I'm not working in collections any more.  I have so many options working with beads that I find it hard to restrict myself to a colour combination or theme.  I love to work on whatever comes to me on the day :)
I'll be adding extra pieces without beads too, at the moment there's a 'bubble' twirl skirt for very little ladies.  I'm hoping the shop will become a lovely mixture of all my loves :)
So on this 'back to school' day (surely all the kids are back now...no more inset days?)  I wish you a peaceful day....watch this space for new listings...I'll keep you posted :)
