Punch with Judy :: Knitting, Crochet, Battenburg Lace & Rose Making :: Swallow Hill Creations Patterns and Kits
 We know that working with beads can be a very relaxing and soothing way to spend your time.
Knitting and crocheting with beads has become so popular. Why not relax over the summer holidays and join our passion for Bead Knitting by making up several of these little treasures. Meet our lovely Beaded Ladies who will entice you to trying your hand at knitting or crocheting with beads.
All of these patterns can be made with Size 10 or 11 Czech Glass Beads
Take a walk down memory lane with us. There was a time when no self respecting lady would be without her beaded evening bag. (I had one!) Do you remember when, all dressed up for a date, your Mum hovered around you fussing? Remember the reminders to take a clean handkerchief as she gave
you a coin Just in case you need to call home and she would smile as you rolled your eyes and tucked it into your little evening bag. Even though times change, old habits die hard - or, perhaps they become traditions. We
still fold clean handkerchiefs into our bags or pockets and check for cash before heading out. But now, we also have to take our car keys, credit cards, mobile phone, glasses and lipstick.
While not everyone is going out for an evening where a beaded bag is the essential extra, into every life a little glitz can and should come! The ladies from Swallow Hill Creations know you will find their bags add to that special day or evening, but they hope you will also try some of them out for everyday. That is why they have sized their Beaded Ladies to carry your essentials with style and a bit of whimsy.
Have fun!
