[Nfb-krafters-korner] crocheting with beads

[Carol Osmar]

Lori, Thanks for the info.  I am interested in crochet beading too, so I 
will check out the sites.  Don't tell Henrietta, but I went to a sidewalk 
sale while I was on vacation last week and found bead spinners and I bought 
one for each of us.  I haven't seen her yet so she doesn't know.  They were 
marked twenty dollars but on sale for five, and included beads, thread and 
findings for a few

Carolprojects.
