Shirley,
The #E-020 on page http://www.vickijean.com/earrings.html reminded me of a bicycle when I first glanced at it. A cute pendant could be made out of the two "wheels" and some added wire work.

I then popped my big bead inside and put the thread through the slit which I closed up. Then I pushed the piece I had folded back into place.

I have looked at some sites in Uk but none seem to have any larger sizes of calottes. I need gold coloured ones Anyone out there who can suggest a way round my problem? Shirley -- Shirley Shone |

Glad you could fix the necklace. Your solution sounds like a good idea.

Yes you could. Vicki does some wonderful things.
It is also very good of her to host a page for me to show off my things. I am doing a computer course and studying "Front Page" with a view to setting up my own site. At class last week I got myself in such a muddle that I had to ask the tutor to clear my workspace and start it again. He keeps telling me to take my time it is not a race.

LOL Shirley Well, now you are talking about something I can help you with! I have been a Webmaster for 10 years. I was the Webmaster for my ISP, the Indiana Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, our County library system (and also their digital archivist), and for private clients. I have used FrontPage for years at my client's request. If you need help let me know. I'd be glad to help you with your new Web site.

Shirley,
Forgot to tell you yesterday how beautiful I thought your necklace was! How did you make a big rope like that? Is it a certain stitch?
