Spoiled for choice: which of my birthday presents to work with first?

Gorgeous colours and shapes – my current favourites of acrylic flowers and leaves – and Christmas beads from Bead Trimming and Craft (Brisbane)

Fantastic mix of reds – shiny, matt, sequins, spacers – plus more lovely leaves from The Bead Hold (Taranaki)

and new, quality jewellery crafting tools and cutters, along with stylish display stands, from G A Warburton (Auckland)
