....... not love Plymouth?




Because it's down south, the weather there is relatively warmer and because it's surrounded by the sea, you get all these awesome view!




Just got back to Nottingham a few days ago. Plymouth has been great, I must say. Apart from the great weather and awesome view, did and eat lots of stuffs there too, most notably some out-of-your-routine kinda thing. Will try to blog about it.

Meanwhile, why don't you take in the view as well? ;)

I'm at cousin Mary's place in Plymouth at the moment. Been here since last Thursday. It's approximately 6 hours drive from Nottingham but me and Juju came here to visit by ourselves taking the public transport. So, it ended up taking us a whole day travelling on the road to get here!

We travel down to London from Nottingham and then from London to Plymouth. Apart from the time spent on the road, a lot of time was spent waiting at the station as well! o_O

Well, thing is, it's very expensive to travel within UK. A return ticket for a direct bus from Nottingham to Plymouth would have cost us +/- £100 each!! :O So, we ended breaking up our journey and cutting our travel fare into half. You could have flown to Europe from UK with that amount of money already lor....

Anyway, it's been great in Plymouth so far. It's a city near to the sea and it's such a beautiful place. Weather's great too. It's not as cold as Nottingham, that's for sure! Love the place! Like, totally!




And Mary and her husband, Jason, has been the ever so gracious host and been stuffing me and Ju with food ever since our arrival! I've been binging like I've never been before! Total insanity! LOL... XD

I don't even want to step on the weighing scale to see how much weight I've put on already! Can't care too much for now! :P

Beaded bead is basically a bigger focal bead beaded from smaller beads. There are many ways in which you can bead a beaded bead and this is just one of the many ways that you can bead a beaded bead. If you’ve never done beaded beads before, this tutorial would be a good start for you.






This beaded bead is simple and straightforward enough for anyone to follow. I call this a flexi bead because design wise, it is flexible enough for you to implement into almost any design ideas as shown in the pictures below. The possibilities are just endless!
