Busy, busy, busy!

Phew, I just finished adding 17 wonderful website to UK Beaders and have updated the shops map with 5 more stores for you to visit!

Earlier today (OK as it's now the small hours it was technically yesterday) I posted details of our first group challenges, with a couple of wonderful UK themes.

The first was inspired by the queens 80th birthday celebration - The children's party in the palace. I watched the whole thing on TV and thought it was great fun. This theme allows lots of scope with many different creative avenues to be explored.

The other challenge is a bit more specific and involves using the colour red. Why red? Because of all the amazing British icons that are red including Routemaster buses, telephone boxes and royal mail post boxes!

Site updated - problem fixed!

Just a quick update to let you all know that I recently upgraded the site so now you will notice there are no adverts spoiling the site and getting in the way.

When you click on a link to any of the sites listed the site's address will show up in your address bar so you no longer have any problems in book marking any great sites you come across when using the UK Beaders site.
