Welcome to Heatherworks... 

New downloadables for April...

Two new patterns added this month Little Owl and Time Traveller's Compass.  Plus a gorgeous new pattern for two variations of a bracelet, simply called Favourite Bracelet.

New pattern: Favourite Bracelet

This is a pattern you'll want to wear every day. Bezel glittery chatons with a quick and easy bezel, embellished with baby 2mm pearls and lace them together with a neat twin bead link. Favourite Bracelet has two complete patterns in one worksheet. Both patterns are completely reversible too, giving you lots of lovely colourful options. 

Coming soon...

On order and soon to arrive in store are the French knitting dollies as used in my French knitting books. If you'd like to pre-book the single pin four pin, or acrylic four or eight pin dolly, please feel welcome to email me, and I'll let you know the day they arrive.

See... Love... bead...Care...

The new series of Patterns on a postcard (or one page PDF) are definitely proving popular. These are rights free, so you can make and sell them to raise charity funds. One beading group had a pre-Christmas get together and raised over £100 for a local hospice,  by beading Holly and Mistletoe and munching mince pies, definitely a win win moment! Latest design is a cute Heart charm, not just for Valentines, these make lovely favours and treats too. If you do some fundraising, be sure to let me know and I'll blog all about it...
