[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

Sounds like what I use on my adjustable book marks!

There are some with 2 holes and the nice, round ones, have one hole, but are
not as sturdy.

I use them because they look nicer!

I just call them slider beads.  They are black, aren't they?

I had some green cotton with silk yarn with sparkles and crocheted one purse
then made three more using a 10 inch crohook afghan stitch. They all have
islet holes around the top with heavy nylon cord shoulder straps. 

 

I don't know what you call these fasteners but there is a hole in the side
with a spring-loaded button on the top so you hold the button down and
thread the cord through the hole. When you let go of the button, the spring
holds the cord so that the bag stays closed. 

 

More than you probably wanted to know. If anyone knows what you call that
fastener, please let me know. 

 

Blessings,

It's Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or
achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we'll celebrate with you.

 

I took Laurie's beading class last night and learned a different way to use
the peyote stitch to make a lovely bracelet or necklace.  And, as a bonus,
Annie Maxwell told us about her brand-new house, which sounds wonderful.
Good class; good company.

Tracy
