[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[Debra Trevino]

Sorry, don't know what color they are. They are wooden. I have also seen metal ones.

Blessings,

Deb Trevino

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.
