I hate to admit that I love getting lost in a day of reorganizing and straightening. I usually do it when things get really out of hand (messy) or when my muse has left the building...<br />Lovely bracelets you! I've used beeswax for frayed ends.

Just make sure you know the sizes of beads you want - I have made many mistakes and ended up with beads I'll never use.<br />I think your creations are fab though - and as already mentioned you tube and pinterest are great inspirations....<br /><br />Hugs xxSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040424705407627372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413796432350704507.post-65172952884703470032013-01-04T02:24:43.180+00:002013-01-04T02:24:43.180+00:00I have never really did any beading myself.

Happy New Year :)
How nice to mee...Hi there Julie! Happy New Year :)<br /><br />How nice to meet you through Di! She's one lovely lady, isn't she?! <br />I don't know if I'm qualified to suggest anything as I only started beading myself a few months ago and am very much self taught. There some amazing tutorials on YouTube, I would start there for basic techniques and tips. The bracelets you've made look pretty fine to me!! I find the sales rack in BHS and Evans are great to buy necklaces really really cheaply and then take apart. Hobby craft is incredibly expensive I think. Try www.cooksongold.com for reasonable findings, cord, equipment etc. <br />I would be reluctant to offer any more advice...you could always look for local classes as well....<br />Let me know how you get on, it would be great to see your stuff. I just muddle by somehow :)<br />Jan xxxxLunch Lady Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592783504717849403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413796432350704507.post-14670933446764665612013-01-03T12:06:08.017+00:002013-01-03T12:06:08.017+00:00Hi Julie
Happy New Year. Just thought I'd let...Hi Julie<br /><br />Happy New Year. Just thought I'd let you know you aren't alone - I almost lost the will to live when facing the craft room here. Work has begun and at least I can sort of see the desk now. <br /><br />A thought, why not use up some snippets regularly and come and play in the Snippets Playground? I don't promise that your piles of paper will go down rapidly but it's fun, folk are so friendly and there are some super little ideas.<br /><br />I think you were probably right to chop your papers into 6" squares - that's the size I use most of - plus you can always join 'em up and cover with a strip of ribbon or lace if you want to make a bigger card :)<br /><br />Love your bracelets BTW, I'm not a beader but Lunch Lady Jan is very friendly, helpful and makes jewellery. Why not hop over and say Hello and ask away - http://lunchladyjansfabricfrenzy.blogspot.co.uk/<br /><br />Tell her that Di sent you :)<br /><br />Hugs, and don't despair, lots of us are frantically trying to do some sorting out right now.<br /><br />Di<br />xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.com
