If you go on the M1 then I would suggest coming off at J15 for Northampton and following the A508 west. When you get to the roundabout with the A5 you turn North and it's about 5 mins up the road. I guess about 20-30 mins off the M1 but a nice tea room and deli so you could stop for refill. <br /><br />Stephanie is lovely. Give her a ring.

But as I am not actually making the wire bits (yet) I mainly use the needle nose pliers. and that is mostly for pulling reluctant needles through places they don't like to go.<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-75448663659330378542015-11-10T21:30:48.933+00:002015-11-10T21:30:48.933+00:00Ah yes, nearly 3 years down the road of not just s...Ah yes, nearly 3 years down the road of not just sewing beads on fantastical gowns, but onto everything I can think of - such as O rings, Star washers, Springs - because we have an Aldi over the road and the boxes of machinery supplies looked interesting. and then collecting wooden coffee stirrers to see how that developed.<br />Finally I am now actually watching You-tube videos to find out how you are really meant to be beading! But I like changing instructions too much to churn out the normal stuff. <br />However...I have been trying for some time to find out where to get the soutache braid in so many colours, as I came across some places where they were doing a lot with it in Eastern Europe. So, you have done me a real favour. I will have to see where the Bead Scene and the Wakefield estate are in the grand scheme of things. (Like how far off the track when driving from Bracknell to York to see MIl and so on.)<br />Looking forward to seeing the leather and beads concoctions.<br />Sandy in BracknellSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296486879102675766.post-54322638949964641052015-11-10T20:09:33.731+00:002015-11-10T20:09:33.731+00:00But I am trying very hard not to slip!
Mind you,...But I am trying very hard not to slip! <br /><br />Mind you, I have just bought some jewellery pliers - but they're an investment!
