On Hiatus...

Hi everyone,
I'll be taking a break from the blog for a bit, for at least a couple of months anyway.
My interest in pattern-making seems to be waning somewhat, and the new things I'm doing aren't really post-worthy, but we'll see how things pan out.
I totally understand anyone unfollowing, so no hard feelings ;)

Thank you all, and bye for now... :)

Please note: The beads in these patterns do not look the same as the actual Miyuki beads (some of those are opaque, transparent, silver-lined, matte, shiny and so on). I just pick colours that I like together, which works for the patterns, but using these actual beads in a project may very possibly not give the same results. If you like a particular colour version, just use it as "colour inspiration" rather than sticking to the exact bead numbers in the materials list :)

One fourth of large pattern (29x29cm)
Prints at (roughly) 14.5x14.5cm (at 100%)
Hi everybody,
The reason for the post title: I found this pattern in one of my old sketchbooks, so there is a very good chance I've posted this one before.
Sorry... :)
