New to group

Hi I was happy to find your group.I make alittle jewelry and like
someothers I hoard some too. My problem is designs. I need patterns and
I can do most anything. I also enjoy crocheting, scrapbooking,knitting ,
candle and soapmaking, and I'll try craft once. I've just learned to
knit and to spin my own yarn. I have 4 children and 10 crandchildren
and another coming in June. I'm a teachers aide and work in a school for
children with various problems.We share a campas with a childrens home
where children live rangeing in ages 8 to 21. Can't think of
anything else hope to contribute something to this group as I know I
will be learning more about beading . Linda

Hi Linda! There are alot of design idea's and patterns to be found on
the internet. Plus if you look through Amazon there are a ton of books
on jewelry making too. I know I've been inspired by jewelry groups
that I've been associated with, plus patterns from about.com and I've
bought quite a few reference books too, which are always helpful. Like
yourself I'm what my kids call a 'crafter-freak'. I love to try
EVERYTHING...and I have to do it RIGHT NOW.
hahahaha Knitting I struggle with, but I love to crochet and I'm
envious you spin your own yarn! Take care..Pat

Welcome, Linda. I'm just the opposite of you. I can absolutely not follow
a pattern, though if I read a pattern, and start to follow it, I'll end up
making something similar.

You might find something on about.com
