Before we went away we spent some time on Hama Bead Mandalas, as already blogged. But they were just so gorgeous that even though I’ve already blogged them over at BeadMerrily, home of all the Hama Beads you could possibly ever want, I decided to put them here too. It was a lovely few days […]
Crafty Summer – Hama Bead Mandalas.
I’m setting inspirations for the girls this holiday. I think we all need to reactivate our creative sides. Today I made it about mandalas and our long loved midi hama beads. More details, a Pinterest board and ideas tomorrow but it was a huge success.
Like the good old days.
I’d forgotten how much fun it is to just sit and make things with Hama Beads. I think they are still my favourite crafty stuff; I couldn’t bear to not have a shop full of them! I’m clearly in need of a bit of therapy; the breast lump thing has knocked me back badly, even […]
Daffodils in Hama Beads
Oh, I’ve not had the Hama Beads out in such a long time; a bit of therapy was needed tonight though and they just arrived in my hands, as it were. On with the daffodil theme so they will still be here in April (all the garden ones are out now… Sob) and these are […]
#PinItForwardUK – My love affair with Pinterest.
In the very darkest days of my life, when there was no colour but blue anywhere in the world, no children but baby boys and no solace to be found anywhere outside my own home, I stumbled upon Pinterest. I must have been one of its earliest users and I sunk hours of bleak, grief […]
Autumn in Hama Beads… again :)
I’ve seen this idea pop up on Pinterest a few times and was desperate to have a go and see if it really was as easy as it looks. Seems like a great fun way to use up mixed up Hama Beads. Today we had the beads out to make a whole heap of pictures […]
More Sport Hama Bead Designs & Home Ed Life.
So the Olympics are coming and my sporty girls have entered into the spirit it and helped me get some Hama Bead patterns together. They’ve been very creative and we’ve put a free set of ideas (I’ve lost my design disk… again 🙁 ) on BeadMerrily for Hama Bead enthusiasts. There are a few Maddy […]
Klimt's The Kiss.
Let’s move on to something a little nicer. Remember we were looking at this? Over Friday and the weekend we thought we would have a go at a representation of this picture in…. Hama beads! And here is the finished article. Rather a good piece of collaborative art we thought 🙂 What I loved about […]
