Froggie beads are fun for me to make. I got on a roll and created a few and now they sit on my desk smiling at me. I hope you'll take a moment to go to the url below and look in the Polymer clay folder, and I hope they make you smile too. Next froggie adventure will be to try setting them on...

Eeek! Wish me luck. The Tucson show I'm doing starts today. I need to sell a lot to make this trip worthwhile, but as usual, I feel like I don't have enough stock. At least we saved money on airfare, using our frequent flier miles to get here. The hotels are never cheap here in February, but...

Hi Y'all, I listed 5 new auctions tonight. Two of the sets were made with my new Bead Squeeze. It makes very 'comfortable to wear' beads. It's a lot of fun to use too, so now I'm going to have to try real hard not to squeeze EVERYTHING I make! I actually have two favorites in this batch. "Berry...

Will I ever get caught up or should I mark 'em all read? Hmmm. -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com

The computer I use every day (my laptop) is very sick, and probably dying. I was going to back up all of my data today, and went to boot up, and it's showing a blue screen and continually rebooting. Dh says he'll try to fix it, but if he can't, we'll be paying someone to retrieve the data from...

I am at a loss for words. (Hey! Stop laughing!) The postman delivered a large box about a half hour ago, and told me he was sure that it wasn't heavy enough to be beads. Little did he know. For the new folks here, the box contained a quilt. The members of RCB contributed squares; Jalynne...

Dear Enablers, Now I know why Karen Kreider had to LOL when I mentioned I planned to list on E-Bay. Listing fees are a small issue compared to my adventures. THE GOOD THINGS I found a layout design I liked. It has purple, a top color for us all, and had roses which at least are flowers. I...

Hi everyone, Just a quick note to let you know Ihave some new lampwork up on ebay. One set is inspired by Anglo-Saxon art, the other is - well, just a pretty colour really and that is justification enough for me! http://snipurl.com/9d4j Thanks for looking,

With all that's going on, I think we need a funny story right now. So, even though I can't see very well, here's a little gift to give us all a lift. ------------------- Bob and I graduated high school 25 years ago, and unlike most of our graduating class, we still live in the same town where we...

OK, pretend you are playing Family Feud (for those of us that are old enough to remember THAT!) Name some chores/tasks/duties you would like to hire someone else to do : 1. Raking (for example) 2. 3. 4.

Stunning! I have a suggestion on the walnut shells: When you decide to split them for hinging, use a Dremmel to cut the halves evenly. There's only one match for each shell, and if you try to pair it up with another shell, it won't work. I've done sharp knife before and can only marvel at my...

I've been working for some time now trying to find a source in the UK for oxycons. If there are any UK lampworkers out there who would be interested in one, post-medical machines, please email me over the weekend, so I can have some sort of headcount of the interested to present to the company...

Some people want this pattern again. I was wondering if there was a PDF copy floating around now? Otherwise I can make copies of the pattern Sooz sent me and mail some out. ...Stephanie..

Last week, someone posted a link to a beautiful pink bracelet made of polymer clay rosebuds. The bracelet looked wide, and the rosebuds were stylized (almost like ribbon roses). I looked at the photo in the middle of the night, when I was dopey and in pain - so of course I forgot to save the URL....
