    You do realise you need to clock up 10,000 to get the gold...

    I'd better keep writing little bits often then!

    its a stunning bracelet deserved the compliment

    i'm quite jealous i can't seed bead

    I want to find a beading club - so far that one is the only design I've been able to work out :o Are you any good at working out when to use wire and when thread etc for stringing beads. I purchased some pearls for MIL but don't know what to string them on.

    I would string pearls on a silk thread personally. It depends what you want the piece to look like - if you want more shape and structure to the piece but aren't using hundreds of beads wire is better - thread is good for things that need to be lighter or that 'flow' IYKWIM...


    Yes I bead as well as papercraft, knit, crochet, paint, write, cook, bake and run....:o

    Probably just as well they are unique given the grief you've had. A weaker less positive person would have lost themselves. BE proud for being true to your fabulous self;)
