Earlier tonight I was making myself a business card, and couldn't for the life of me come up with a name for my "business". How did you guys who have your own businesses come up with names? I am an all around crafter...not just beads. I can sew, paint, decorate, etc, so I would want a name...

Hi all :) I am having a weekly special over at my website - a custom order special for some raised floral focals. You can pick your own color scheme and get the focal with or without matching spacers. The details and pics are over at my website - please take a look! http://www.lampwork.net Also,...

Those sound pretty cool - thanks for the review! -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Recently, I bought a package of Snapeez jump rings from Via Murano, the same people who sell Tornado Twist crimps (which are great, btw). It's been a week or two since I received...

Well.....I finally get to do it. Yup, I get to place a catalogue order for beads. And not a ten or twenty or even fifty dollar order----I have a whole $150 at my disposal!!!!! I got my FMG book the other day, and I'm already $25 deep in the planning, just in faceted fire polish. And how does...

I just went to Corina's site, thinking I'd better hurry up and get my vote in...hadn't been there in a while, strolled around the new entries, decided I was going with my first choice anyways...then BAM--I can't vote! She changed it to entree voting only, at the request of some of the...

I go to my local quilt shop regularly for sewing group get togethers, and the last time I went, I took my beads, because I didn't feel like hauling my sewing machine over there. The owner was there, she's a friend of a good friend of mine who organizes the sewing group. She saw what i was doing,...

Is there an admission charge for BABE? I don't see one listed on their site. http://www.beadextravaganza.com/index.html I just looked around on the site. I see the hotel is 4 blocks from where my father had his office when I was growing up. Jack LaLaine's office was in the same block. The old...

I can picture exactly what I want. I've seen photos of similar curtains in magazines I no longer have. I am looking for clear glass bead curtains. Bead shape is less important than the spacing. The strands of beads are close enough together that the curtains themselves look almost solid. I have...

Once in a while I really wonder about how things work out! The husband wanted a marble mold for his beads. He's really coming along well, is on his third tank of MAPP and has turned out some beads that he's really pleased with, so he decided to treat himself to a toy. So I found him a marble...

Do you have a favorite bead website that might not be on the Links List? You would check it against the List, of course, if you're a nice person.....then POST IT HERE. Heck, post your top 3 faves here. Let's see which ones make it to the List!!!! PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR OWN WEBSITE! I will...

I'm finally feeling better - yey! I'll be busy this week catching up.

I put the Drilled Paua and the Sea - Beach Glass on Ebay this morning. I hope this doesn't cause any hard feelings, but I got so confused that I thought this would be best. I will have tons more in about a month? or so. Depends on me finding glass in all colors and when the Paua gets done. :) I do...

First, thanks to all of you for the nice e-cards, emails and posts of support which I need at this difficult time. I am going to look at a nursing home today since it just isn't possible to have him come home. Hospice doesn't have enough care for him to be at home 24-7 and my mom can't do it. He is...

My first real seed beading after taking a class yesterday! http://www.beadbimbo.com/ebay/class1.jpg The first one is a spiral bracelet, and then 2nd one, she calls "confetti". I'm thinking of making it into a lariat, or making a vessel to go with it. I'm hooked. Ok, I'm starting to get the seed...

Hi, everyone. I've been lurking here for a while and decided that it's time to introduce myself -- ya know, since I've gotten to the point where I love every single one of you! I have been collecting beads for at least 15 years and not doing a thing with them because I didn't have (a) the proper...

After another night of staying up coughing, or being with the kids as they coughed, I just couldn't handle it anymore, and I had Adam call in to work today. We all trekked down to urgent care after clearing it with the pediatrician's office, and saw the only Doc I've ever seen here for myself--he...
