| Playing with wooden beads |
I had fun playing in the bead box and picking just the right beads for these flowers.
When attaching the beads, I tried out the new silk thread I bought last week.

| Kimono Silk Thread |
It is a finer thread than Nymo, which is my usual beading thread. And it didn't seem to split as much on the ends so threading the needle was easier. I must say after my first experience that I really like this thread and look forward to using it more.

I've never done beading, but I must say that you have very fun beads there. I'll bet your whole collection is amazing.
Looks fun! Stitching and Beading, your kind of playtime. The beads look like buttons. I think they would work on this stitchery too.
I use the Kimono silk thread for my hand applique work. I prefer the Nymo for my bead work, especially if the beads are heavy. This silk is a bit too light for many beads. The MIYUKI thread that Ann Marie recommended is quite a bit heavier, more like a 40 weight polyester size. I will look forward to your thoughts on the Kimono with the beads. I found the Miyuki thread at That Bead lady in Newmarket.
Very pretty! Just perfect for a spring project.
