I immediately fell in love with the bracelets on the cover of the Oct/Nov issue of Beadwork magazine. I've never actually finished a bead weaving project -- I've basically only practiced -- but I just had to try these. I've made two of them so far and ordered delicas in a bunch of colors so I can...

Anyone out there who can help with this? I got up this morning to find that yet another spammer has highjacked halseytrading dot com domain as their sending email address. So far today I've had over 500 "message returned" emails from all over the world come through my MailWasher program and am...

After a bit of a hiatus for a local bead show, I'm back with some terrific new auctions! Fair warning, there may be a little lag next week, since I'm having Lasik surgery this Friday (a touch-up) and will probably be blurry for a few days. (more than usual LOL) On Ebay: A mini watermelon trio: ...

Well I've managed to get the messages down to a mere 232! When I got back from NC it was 2000+ I got the NC stuff into storage and I am waiting to hear when the closing on my house will be. It should be in the next few weeks. I may head out from AZ for the x-country trip back to the east this...

I'm hoping to purchase a kiln for metal clay in the next couple of months. I use both PMC and Art Clay brands. Do any of you have any insights? Obviously, I'm interested in info RE what kiln you think is the best--but I'd also appreciate any other info that you want to share. BTW: I had been...

Hi all, OK...I know I said I was going to be firm about the deadline of Dec. 1st for getting your Artist Trading Cards for Beaders to me. And those of you who are working towards that goal, please stick with it. But, I will be making an exception for someone. The poor thing purchased a product...

I sent an ad about my ebay autcions, but I seem to be missing a lot of messages this week, even my own! Will someone tell me if it went through? Thanks, -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com

Well hey, down to a few hours and no bids. Yes, I know, like I really expected to sell my work right out of the gate? *smiles* It was worth a try--this set was something I am excited about. (And if I get to keep it, I'll be excited about that, too!) http://snipurl.com/afnj I'll be back, and...

Do many of the people on this list own or use videos or dvds to add to their knowledge of beadwork in any form? Have you found them useful or are they just an entertaining hour during which you spend your time saying 'I can do that already!'? I've never watched an instructional video on any...

....but it is a necklace component. I mentioned the other day that I was seeing if I could make a polymer clay butterfly with wings that move. Finished it this morning, and wore it all day. No comments at all, though, and that tends to make me as paranoid as effusive commentary. Hmm. It is just a...

Hi Beaders, BABE! is this weekend. November 13th & 14th and they still have some openings in classes! One in particular, that is a phenomenal deal, are the Susan Lenart Kazmer classes. She will be limiting her teaching schedule starting next year. And the price of the classes through BABE! are...

My 9 yo dd just LOVES that song. She sings it in the shower, she comes running when it's on the radio... I am enjoying country music because my dd can sing most of it without me blushing... The Blessed Fiddy, Patroness Saint of the Disorganized LC in Sunny So Cal Personality Development...

Ok, I sort of understand RAW. In 8th grade, I remember a teacher teaching us how to do it, although I didn't know that was what it was called. We did it, using fishing line, and I think I still have a piece or two that I made from back then. Anyway, I'm having trouble with the 1 or 2 needle...

From the sounds of this teacher I wouldn't hold my breath! LOL At least she doesn't get to pick the novels they're reading this year, so they aren't some whacked out idea of what this woman thinks kids should know. They just finished "Animal Farm" and are now reading "Of Mice and Men." Since...

I finally finished my first "embellished square stitch" bracelet from the instructions that Sooz sent to several of us a couple of weeks ago. It actually took me longer to make the toggle than it did to make the bracelet! Here's a...

I'll be spending Thanksgiving week in Orlando and Tampa, FL. Does anyone have a favorite or recommended bead store in Orlando or Tampa, or on the road in between them? I've looked at a couple of bead store lists, but my time will be limited so I'd like to give my priority time to stores that...
