Daydream beader..

My little boy was very grown up last night - up on stage at the open night with the choir. I could see the teachers had spoken to him before proceedings started and I was feeling nervous for him. He was handed the microphone to introduce the junior choirs numbers - I'm a Believer and Daydream Believer (I think the teacher is a monkees fan). He did such a good job - spoke confidently and smiled throughtout the performance. We were a very proud mama and papa.

And this was the other job for the day...gifts for mum whose birthday is tomorrow. She buys anything she wants so MrP and I make jewellery. We buy the beads from a pearl shop and this time our style altered a little.

Clockwise from top right - this is a long line necklace with lime green beads. Below it is a leather twine with pearls. These are randomly knotted and look really good wrapped three times around the neck or also looks really nice around the wrist.

Finally the white beads which in real life look very natural, almost volcanic. The original premise was the mid length necklace and bracelet with circular clasps. Then we realised they could join together for a longer necklace. Finally MrP created the hanging insert which extended our options from one to five. These are photographed on our table but on the skin they look great.
