Sorry, I know it's loads but I'm well pleased this week!!

Why apologise? All great stuff there Kat, well done and the fairies have been kind to you.
Particularly like the lentils and of course the purple cab. That could become your signature piece ,you know. Is that one up for sale or has it gone already. bags i first dibs if it's still available.

Delicious hon..I love them all well done you x

Lol ok thanks guys yeah I definitely think random hectic patterns are becoming rather signature!

Purple cab is all yours, its not completely round though it's a bit of an oval. Bung me an emaill and I'll sort that for you.

Ooo YAY!

Love them all tinker!!
Like the ones you call lentil, why are they called that, if you don't mind me asking?

I thought I made a comment on these, love the lentil beads and the colour combos

I used to think lentil beads were called that cos they're the shape of lentils (even though they're actually more like lentils which have been glued together and squashed).
But then I discovered the word Lenticular which means lens-shaped so I'm thinking that THAT is probably why they're called lentils.
Anyone know for certain?

Hello! Truth is I havent got a scooby! I just call them that because that's what they were referred to in my 1st lesson! Might have something to do with the fact that they are squashed but I couldn't say for sure. I sold the green one yesterday to Dani (ddennington) and hopefully in a few days we'll get a pic of what she's done with it!

Ooh they're all fabulous!
