Hello all! I hope you are all enjoying your Friday!
From time to time I will be giving you some jewelry hints, tips, or tricks that will help you create wonderul pieces!
If you are a seed beader and deal with long lengths of thread at one time, I have the perfect solution for those times that you need to put your project away for a time period. Take the thread that is still attached to your project and wind it up in a bobbin. I leave the needle hanging out. This way you do not have a ball of thread that you will end up unknotting and causing hours of frustration. I use one of my Kumihimo plastic bobbins. It works great! I do have extra in case I actually want to do a project on the Kumihimo disk.
You can find these wonderful things at most of your bead supply stores. I can always recomend a GREAT bead store if you find yourself needing one.
Well that is my great and wonderful tip for today! I hope it helps! If anyone has any tips that they would like to share, please feel free to let me know!
Enjoy the weekend!

Groundhog's Day?
I for one am grateful that I do not reside in Punxsutowney, PA. The clips that were on the news, I have to say, showed just how bizarre the whole thing really is! Am I the only one out there who is left wondering why no one has clued in to the fact that this furry creature will ALWAYS see his shadow? I mean, seriously he pops out of his home in the ground and is blinded by all the lights that are set up around this poor animal. Lights, equals shadows!
If you want my advice, simply pull out a calendar and look ahead to see when the first day of Spring actually is and then go about your daily business! Do you think that the folks get up early and head off to the groundhog hole with innocent anticipation, asking their fellow companions, "Do you really think he won't see his shadow this year?"
The way our "winter" has been with the mild weather, I don't believe that I would put any stock into the predictions of fur ridden critter!
Well that is my rambling for today! Stay tuned to see what else pops into my head! I do believe that creativity does indeed come from an overactive imagination! Step out of the norm, look at things from a different perspective, try on a different hat so to speak! Until next time, let your inner mind wander! Keep a sketch pad close! Never know what you will come up with!
