Might just give this one a go too. Keeps the old grey matter working!

I've entered the Beads Galore July Challenge with this piece....

I've never done this type of work before, except with wire and although I know how to do peyote stitch I've always stuck to neat and tidy. Well this suited me down to the ground. Free Form Peyote, just let your imagination go 'wild'. I've called it 'Gypsy' because I could let the beading needle just 'roam'. Very apt.

Early one morning just as the sun was shining.....

And look who I saw! Our Daisy trying to ignore some interloper trying to get in on her sun!

Don't talk to me I'm not listening, I'm sunbathing!
So...... I'll sit under my bed then.

Trying out lots of new stuff!

Last couple of weeks I've taught myself to knit with hoooooge knitting needles, like......25mm! So much fun if you use the right yarn, which I didn't so got myself into all sorts of muddles. Picture to come when item is finished.

Also learnt tunisian or afghan crochet stitch, again lots of fun.

And for the beads, I learnt how to do Russian Spiral Weave. And then proceeded to make a necklace.
