Hi, thanks for the kind words .
That particular bracelet was made with this Mystery Mix I ordered from Jillybeads (mixes - clearance mixes), I also added some of the larger beads from my bits and bobs drawer and my own pink and clear seed beads and the longer spacer beads. Its about half this mix and half my stuff.
The mix is only £1.40 and I've used it quite a bit. I also add to it when I have bits left over from other things.

Oh, what a shame, I was looking forward to seeing them.
I think others have had issues with posting pics from imageshack.

Instead of image shack - have you used photobucket. Its very easy to use and easy to copy images into forums. Just copy the link and paste it here.

Hi all, I had my order from madcowbeads, its ace, I had 4 trayed seed mixes free, which is fantastic for someone like me, I just need to think of a way to store all these things.

I have a craft room which is geared for card making, painting and things just need some storage things.

Thank you sethsgran for the link to bedazzled beads, I live a couple of minutes away from here. I was actually at the ponderosa for coffee thish morning, I didnt even know it was there.

KandiPandi - what are those things called with the clip for handbag charms, I wouldnt mind getting afew of those to make xmas pressies with

I know I keep asking things sorry but I`m new and excited x

They are called Bag Charm Clips or swivel lobster claw clasps see here.
I think mine were from hobbycraft.

Im so pleased you are all excited about it I was the same and I cant wait to get home to get stuff made!

For storing my beads etc I bought this drawer unit thing from Focus DIY - it is their value range and cost £2.50 ish (its not on their website just checked to try and show you)you can stack them together when you get more beads and have a huge wall of little drawers.

I love your bracelet, its beautiful and the colours are the sort that I always go for, I adore anything with a pink/purple hue!

Did you manage ok turning the ends - I hate that bit!

Hart44 - thats a great Idea for the broken watch strap - oh the things we can do with our beading obsession, my glasses case broke today and my friend suggested I bead myself a new one! Think I might get my sewing stuff out instead
