My craft room is a mess! I no sooner get it cleaned up than I mess it up. Am I alone in this? Also, I have tried a couple different ways of organizing my beads, but never seem to do it right. First, I tried color; then, I tried type, i.e. crystals, pearls. After I finish organizing it one way,...

hi y'all! I'm making hand beads this week...but made a little side trip into shoes. I've wanted to do shoes for a while.... now, these have a hole pierced through so they are technically a bead, but I am hanging them more as pendants. What do you think of the first few? I will be getting better...

Hi everyone - I would like to request that someone take over the Rebekah auction project, please. It's turning into a much larger project than I had anticipated - much more involved than when I did the auctions for Carol a year ago. I love doing it, but I am finding that I just do not have the...

This weekend is the 100 Mile Yard sale in Southeastern MO. I've always wanted to go to a mega yard sale like this, and now I get to!
