My name is Kathleen. I make jewellery and home decor items. I found your web-site by chance and can't wait to visit your store.

Until then....I'm working on some pieces with leather as a base. Any tips on needles and thread? I want to make a bracelet like the one on the front of the new Bead And Button...but bigger....lots and lots bigger.]]> Introduce yourself...

And nice because you can take it with you and do it while you have a few free minutes. Yes I know, don't look at the (ahem) wirework I don't do wirework but I knew my daughter liked that bead and it was for her birthday So what'cha workin' on??

What do you like to do creatively besides jewellery? For me I'm trying desperately to get a scrapbook album done. I am actually going to be relieved when I have it finished! Weird I know...but I've got so many other projects to get at! Like my gardens. Oye vey! They've been neglected too long....2 whole years! I've got a great collection of irises that need some TLC and lots of trimming to do.]]> General Gabbing...
