MY EARRINGS

[troublesmom]

These are going to be Christmas gifts. Maybe if I ever get good enough I will sell them. They are fun to make.

Julie, weaving beads is intriguing...tell us more!

Um, here's what I know about bead weaving. I asked for a book for Christmas one year and got the book. I looked at the instructions for the easiest looking stitch and ran screaming.

That is the extent of my knowledge of bead weaving.

Here's an example of a woven bracelet. I'm thinking I'd start with something smaller...

Wow! I for sure do not have that kind of patience.

Yikes Julie! I get scared just looking at that bracelet. I remember some craft kit that I received for Christmas as a child that involved beading that looked similar but it was WAY-Y-Y too complicated for me (or any child for that matter, what were they thinking?).

Now that I think about it, the old Allene's TV show about 10 years ago went through a phase of beading segments and I even bought some of supplies. Wonder where that stuff is now?

Hey Cynthia, I'll take one of those braclets for Christmas! I just saw that you were on here and thought I would put my order in early so you will have plenty of time to do it.

Haha, Mama made a funny!! Can you see me trying to do that with my cats? I think NOT!! Maybe you can sweet talk Julie, Sandra, or Cheryl.

Your only have 4 cats and I have 8 so you have a better chance of doing it than me.

Not until I get new glasses. Besides, you may have more cats, but I have a HUSBAND. (Sometimes I would prefer the cats when I'm trying to craft.)
