I think you may have the answer to your query re the die cuts as the cards are on the blog. I didn't put the die cuts photo on there, did you want me to, you didn't say.

Ann just had a look at the new pics and as usual they are lovely, I have added a comment also a query...btw I sent you photo of all the new die cuts dont know if it came through o.k.
love Jean x

And also some cards by Jean on the craft blog

Just put some photos on the photos blog.

Jean thanks for the pics. I will try and remember to put some photos on the photo blog, maybe tomorrow. I will also look at your pics properly tomorrow.

Von, I was surprised when you managed toa dd a comment before, wonder why you couldn't do it the second time. Did you register at all? If youw ant something added send it to me via e mail or PM and I will copy it on for you. :-)

This week I have been backing a quilt top. Had great trouble getting it aligned. and had to unpick a section twice near one of the corners. I think the problem was that one part of the join wasnt straight, so by the time I got near the corner it was more than a centimeter out. I ended up having to make a small fold near one of the other joins and stitching over it, to try to hide it.

Today I am going to put on the binding and then give it a gentle wash.

Will send the photo another day.
I also finished the third block of the field of dreams, and Im happy with how it turned out. So I went to get more matching fabric to complete three more.
Im using a dark colour choice, of cherry, brown, yellow, and mid green. patterns and plains. at the speed im doing this one I will be very old before its finished.

This afternoon my friend and I are going to the open day for a new retirement village that is offering stage two cottages.
My house is going on the market at the end of the month, but I cant afford to move until after this one is sold, as I dont want to do any bridging finance.
Weather is changing, and the nights are cold enough for doonas now.
we had a great lot of rain in recent weeks, but today the sun is shining.

I've just tried to answer your question on the blog but it wouldn't let me post. The first comment worked fine but not the second.
Anyway to answer your question I didn't make the beads.I have a friend who makes jewellery and she gave me the beads and showed me how to crimp the spacers.

I have some more pendants that I have made and would like to make some more neclaces but have to get the right beads.
I'd be really interested to know how you make the beads in a microwave if you do find out.

I love your necklace.
Take care
Von

Necklace added from Annx
