We have a winner!

Thanks to the two people who commented! I duly wrote your names on bits of paper & put them in my 3yo's cowboy hat, the winner is Diana from the Lone Beader, congratulations I'll be e-mailing you soon!

I haven't been at the computer much lately as I seem to be super busy. I am doing a bit of kniiting, the weather has really cooled down here lately and so I am cutting my teeth on my 1st lace shawl, it's the wildflower pattern here http://www.poshyarn.co.uk/patterns.html it's pretty simple and easy to follow & the pattern is very pretty, the only thing I'm not thrilled with is my yarn choice, I bought a self-striping yarn on sale and its just not right for this. I will carry on though as I will use it round the house and buy some zephyr laceweight for my next one.

I haven't done too much beading this week, I'm still beading my swap gift, that's shaping up really nicely & I have been experimenting with another necklace made with lots of sections of different stitches, I'm learning a lot from it but it definately won't be for wearing, more of a sampler to see what works and what doesn't.

My dh bought me a light tent & I cannot believe the difference it makes! I am hoping to get some time to play around with his new camera this week as I have my 2nd flower brooch to post, only eight more to go.....

I have to say that your beadwork is beautiful, especially those rosette bracelets. Often when I think of people doing bead work, I think of stringing a few beads on a strand, which can be lovely, of course, but I don't see much of this more complicated and inspiring work. Very very pretty!
