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.
