I sure agree!  I usually end a bracelet with a fresh mind and then string another.  It takes more consintration to end one and make sure you do everything right, knots and threading and cutting with out cutting the thread of the original item, how hard!

I might even be making one for the lady at my bank, my first real sale, if it goes through.  I mean bead sale.

I know what you mean.  It seems like a really mess up a lot with crafts if I am pressured.  Crafting is a new hobby for me.  I did not get into any crafts until I was in my 40's so I still have to think about them.
