This is the project I've been working on the last week. I usually keep a bouquet of flowers on the coffee table in the sitting room but Pete complains that you can't speak to anyone sitting opposite because the flowers are in the way :-)

So I came up with this arrangement for my lovely horn vase which my friend Ethel had given me for my birthday (or was it Christmas??!!). I used some lovely gold beads for this one and they were just the right shade to match the brass studs in the coffee table. I've just realised that if you click on each photo you get a larger copy of the image .... what am I? Stupid?? Duh!! Oh well, at least the shade of the beads shows up better if you do this!

I like it - that's a job well done and I'm very happy to see that I haven't lost my touch which is something I feared after so many months of not beading!

YAY - now I can relax whilst starting a brand new project and that's already in the making - another vase, so watch this space ..................but don't hold your breath cos this one is a time consuming project - tee hee!
