Sometimes, when I look at my many, many (but never enough) containers of beads, I wonder how I got here. The answer is, I fell in love with beads. That's where it began. Beads. Tiny, uniform, colourful beads. So I bought some. Then some more. And amidst all the bead buying, it occurred to me that I actually needed to do something with them. So I started making bracelets. Bracelets like I liked. Wide cuffs that looked great and made me feel so glamorous. Then my friends noticed my new accessories, and marvelled at the designs and the tiny beads ("How do you attach them?", "Don't you go cross-eyed?", "I could never do that") and asked if I was selling them. So here I am, trying to make my bead habit self-sustaining. Putting my creations out into the world. I hope you like them.

Oh, and the name? My mother often calls me 'Neat' short for Anita (love you Mum), and Beading cos that's what I love :)
