Hello, all. I've lurked on this fabulous NG for more than five years, so I know someone reading has the answer to *any* question. And *-shock-* my first post is on topic! I've been recruited to teach someone basic bead stringing. My student has the use of one hand. I've searched RCB and all over...

Sooz isn't the only one.... I can read - and I can post a "new" topic apparently... but I can't get on a current thread and "reply" - otherwise the google system just freezes up and I don't even get a posting form.

Same colors, different shapes. Thanks for looking! :) -Ellen http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4941712300&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Good evening, everyone - almost the weekend, yey!!! Stepping a tiny bit outside the box for me today, I am listing an auction of beads that have no pink!! LOL Seriously, this is a fun, cheerful set of tiny little beads perfect for bracelets and earrings. Check it out...

I wish the seller was more specific about what the hell they have, but at $50 it seems like a good deal juts based on the fairly vague description: http://cgi.ebay.com/bali-beads-swarovski-gemstones-lampwork-furnace-gla_W0QQitemZ200005779484QQihZ010QQcategoryZ4643QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem --...

Hi, I have made several loom creation hatbands of varying widths trying to find a width that did not have gaps when you sew them to the crown of the hat. My first was about 15 seed beads (size 11) wide, then I tried a 10 wide and now a 7 wide and they all gap. does anyone have the solution to...

Winter arrived earlier than usual here and appears to be firmly settled in for the next 4 (or so) months. So I'm making beads that remind me of spring - this title for this set was inspired by hearing someone sing the Sesame Street classic at choir practice this week :-). Lots of different greens,...

Been busy since New year. First I had 5 hospital appointments. I am coping well with the diabetes but not had any results back from the heart tests yet. I have been busy making all the wedding stationery for GD forth coming wedding. All the church and evening invites, order of service, menu's...

After several requests I put a bio up on my page. I need to add Dan's at some point, but not today. I've also changed a few more items to make it friendly. Can you guys please let me know how the pictures load? Does it load quickly? Thanks again! Starlia

Oh god! She says this will be her last bunnies-in-the-garden set (this year? When?!?) because she doesn't like making them. :-O I'm gonna kill myself. Maybe it's just the garden part she doesn't like to make. Maybe......augh! http://snipurl.com/4dyg I didn't like the bunny love set, though. ...

Now if I could get my adopted daughter (age 15) to drop her 19 year old boyfriend things would be great. Aren't there laws against statutory rape in your state? In Massachusetts, this man would be in jail as a sex offender. That's what I was thinking. I'd be on the phone to the cops.

Thanks everyone who bid on the Komen Auctions..... what a wonderful way to raise money for a worthy cause! I recently got new Dragon Beads postcards - that feature one of my Venus Pendants. If anyone would like one for their postcard collection (or anyone with a bead store would be willing to set...

I'm having a fun week in the studio-making beads with friends and planning a new local beadmakers guild. I posted 4 new sets today on JustBeads. My two squirrel sets are combinations of swirls and squiggles - wanted to work on stringer control, and that was the result. And then some funky...

I got a card in the mail for the Nice People Co. for a show ("sale"? I think they're the only company at the "show"), and wondered if anyone here had been to one of their shows or bought beads from them before. They're advertising that if you buy $300 in beads, they'll give you $300 beads free......
