Snippets of my stitching life

Let’s do a little beading today!
The needle I have used in this video is a Milliner’s/straw needle size 9. The beading thread is called Nemo, yes like the fish. There is an anchoring knot before and after each bead, which is a lot I know, but I do not like a wobbly bead!!!!!
Happy stitching!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing your method for beading -- very helpful! I've had 'wobbly' beads periodically, so I'm going to try your method in anchoring each bead before and after. I love your snippet video's and watch them first thing as I start my day!

Hi Nancy I am glad that the video was of help and thank you for your lovely words! Jenny C

[@lindak7499]

Thank you for such an in depth explanation of your beading process. Beading is soooo pretty and can add a lot to a piece of embroidery.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Linda, I agree, we all seem to enjoy a little bit of bling! Jenny C

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

Thank you so much for sharing how you bead. As a visual learner, this is so helpful to me. Thank you also for sharing these snippets, it's almost like being there. Enjoy your day. Catherine

Thank you for showing us how to use sequins in our sewing. Once again a great video thanks so much.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

It's a pleasure, Juanette !

[@bettydohms2002]

Again, thank you for sharing these tips! I especially can understand the double tie off of beads on projects you will wear or use like the bag! Makes total sense!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Betty Yes, a secured bead makes me happy! Jenny C

Hello Jennifer, I really enjoyed this video, you’re so much fun to listen to. I hope it wasn’t anything scary in the grass. I loved your beading it’s so pretty. ❤❤

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thank you! I couldn't find anything in the bushes - phew!

[@bellascraftystudio]

Oh thank goodness. ❤

THAT IS A GREAT TIP TO TIE OFF IN THE BACK EACH TIME THANKYOU

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Extra work, but it is worth it!

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Jenny for the snippets today. I have tons of beads from jewellery projects and ornament making. Putting them into embroidery projects is a great idea. I have done it in cross stitch never thought about embroidery projects. I do hope whatever was in the grass was safe.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Carol I think it was a resident goanna - but it is BIG - I couldn't find it though! Happy stitching! Jenny C

[@dennypondaview]

Just love what you do 😂

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thanks, again, Denny!

[@kerrydurl1076]

Thanks Jennifer I'm a bit hesitant using bugle beads but I see what you mean about using two just makes them sit better with everything I hope the noises in the grass went away it's a bad year for you know what's in Australia this year anyway thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us best wishes

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Kerry, yes, I know what you mean about the snakes. I think it could have been a goanna that we have seen in the garden. XX

[@annhind5261]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your videos are just the right amount of time, keeps it interesting.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thank you, Ann. Yes, I don't know if I could keep stitching and nattering for longer !!!!!!!!

[@annettedepete4314]

[@jenniferclouston7545]

It's a pleasure, Annette!

[@janstetler9888]

You are such a joy to watch and I always learn something. I have scads of beads. Sometimes I put a sequin under a crystal plus the stop bead, it's so cute! I could watch you all day!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Jan, that sounds like a great idea! Happy stitching! Jenny C

Just recently ‘discovered’ you via Corrine at To Be Loved and purchased 2 of your books despite being dyslexic lol Loving your daily snippets as based in Ireland I can’t do a class and the snippets are a real encouragement- tfs

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Helen Thank you for purchasing my books! Corrine has been so generous sharing my books, patterns and KZbin channel. - she is GREAT! Jenny C

[@helentucker5034]

Thank you Jennifer, that was so helpful. I am embarrassed to tell you that I made a slow stitch pouch for my glasses and there is a sloppy bead on it!! I don’t have any bead thread (next purchase) and from now on I will be following your instruction…..knot before and after. I am working on a small project practicing my stitches before starting the hexagon project. What was in the grass??😊🥰

[@jenniferclouston7545]

I couldn't see anything in the bushes, thank goodness!

[@user-vc3ks5ii9r]

Thank you Jennifer. You made me laugh when you said, Goeie Genade, I am from the Netherlands and my mum used to say that a lot😅

[@diannecousins2321]

I’ve started doing the double knitting like you show us here now! Love the boro bag pattern you sent too so next project, and the daily stitch hoop is being prepped oooh and the hexagon project! Gonna be busy :)

[@diannecousins2321]

Knitting it was knotting when I typed it lol

[@debrastulik9039]

Brilliant idea using the anchoring knot before and after every bead. A great beading technique. Did you find out what the wrestling was?😳

[@jenniferclouston7545]

It works well for me, Debra. No, I didn't - I had a feeling that it was a large goanna lizzard!

[@jeannemclaughlin9630]

Can you buy bobbins with beading threads or do you wind them yourself...brilliant

[@tracyleecornish5398]

Hi Jennifer Thank You for showing us the bead technique some really great tips and ideas. Hopefully the Russell in the trees is nothing nasty just a Lizard thats not so bad. I now have Two of your books and my goodness so much detail and instructions. I recently had a good neighbour and friend gift me with some old linen so I thought I might make her a gift as it was her Mothers linen the little purse in your book would be perfect but I will have to search for the purse frame for it hopefully I can find it in an op shop locally. Thats the fun of it isnt it!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Tracylee, I think it was a large goanna but I could find it. Good luck finding a frame! Jenny C

[@tracyleecornish5398]

@@jenniferclouston7545 Glad it wasnt a snake!

[@dennypondaview]

I have my hexi done ready to start stitching ...😂

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Oh good, Denny, I look forward to seeing your version of it. Happy stitching! Jenny C

[@margaretheschmidt7062]

Unfortunately I just 4 days ago I had a surgery (jointreplacement of my left thumb), so I am unable to do any stiching. I feel like a drugadict, not being able to do a single stich, less holding a needle. But in a months time I will receive your book AND start stiching again ❤❤❤

[@jenniferclouston7545]

I hope your recovery goes smoothly - I cannot imagine not being able to stitch. Thank you so much for purchasing my book. I hope you find it useful! 🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛
