z. Bead Mat Tray – changeable, non-slip DIY

October 22, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, HOW TO, Misc - How To, Miscellaneous

Do you love your bead mat? Oh yes!  Do you hate your bead mat slipping as you work? Oh yes yes yes!

Well, I had enough. I wanted to make a bead mat tray that would be:

  • be non-slip
  • capable of holding multiple bead mats
  • thick enough that when I pin something to it, there is enough depth to hold it
  • heavy enough that it won’t lift up when I move or take pins out
  • and as a bonus – able to easily change bead mats for different coloured ones.

So here is my functional DIY bead mat tray.  I have tested it daily for a couple of months now and am very happy with its functionality.

zz.Organised Pin Cushion – Ever So Useful

October 19, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, HOW TO, Misc - How To, Miscellaneous

Ah, don’t turn your eyes away because I seem like a lowly and ugly pin cushion. I am only a beta version. I have been on trial for a month or so. And I have made Helena so very happy!

pin-cushion

Organised, multi-function Pin Cushion (ch0388)

I am a pin cushion which:

  • is weighted
  • is segmented to be easily organised
  • has anti-rust capabilities
  • can magnetically hold small work scissors
  • and helps sharpen needles

I have been made to please. And I have and I do! Daily!

Helena thinks I am quite amazing (tho she does not, as yet, appreciate my lack of good looks).

Z. Bead Embroidery Wall Art (CH0335)

October 4, 2014 by Helena Asmus Lim Filed Under: CREATIONS, Home Decor

Bead Embroidery is like painting with beads. Bead Embroidery Wall Art is a liberating way to employ colours, techniques, shapes, and stitches. And you end up with something pretty and usable that you can use to brighten your heart and home. I particularly love abstract art so I think that something abstract and bright will pepper my endeavours here.

Included here are a slew of detailed images. I hope they get your own juices flowing to do YOUR thing! After the gallery, I will add some detailed how to steps and construction notes.
