A Beading Class



And so finally I did manage to get to Noraini's class. There were eight of us; the area was cramped and warm but I simply love the lesson.

At the end of the day we had crinks in the neck, achy shoulders, cramped bums (?) but totally satisfied with what she had taught. She had 21 patterns on the syllabus (she has a syllabus - I admire that) and went through the details of each and every one of them.

She requested to see all the patterns we had done on our own piece of cloth. And seem like she shares all that she knows with you. Which is simply great. I recommend her to anyone who's interested in beading classes.

But watch out, you have to go to class with passion. The lessons could be long, tiring and uncomfortable if you mind / heart is not in it. Aini said a participant had had a headache and was sick in her previous class.. so, take a heed.

I had learnt a lot; and am ready to go a-beading again. In fact, after clearing everything last night I took out my long outstanding beading work and had continued again..

What's life without beading?

That piece of work in the photo above is the day's effort (not much when looking at that) but it is all in your mind (and your notes), dah-ling!
