[Nfb-krafters-korner] December 1st...

[qubit]

Hey there Joyce --
Actually, that is a good idea, blowing on a bead to find an elusive 
hole...lol  I don't think it would work well for a tiny seed bead however --  
or does it?

I have been in and out of this group over 2010 as I'm subscribed to so many 
lists and involved in so many other things -- but krafters korner is the 
place I go for pure fun.  It is what I do when I want to use my creativity 
or else learn a new kraft.
I took a lot of classes and enjoyed all of them -- except the first 
snowflake class as I kept dropping beads and the thread got loose, and I 
ended up cutting it all apart to recover the beads and try at a later date. 
I was so glad when Laurrie offered the snowflake class again a couple weeks 
ago.  Thanks Laurie! It was very helpful.  She had so many tips to prevent 
problems, including my loose threads, and is really a wealth of info about 
beading of all kinds.

Also this year I took a class on plastic canvass (or was that last year?) --  
the tissue box class.  I am working on finishing the last side, which I have 
decided to alter a bit from Terry's pattern -- I am going to take some 
white, bumpy snow-like yarn and embroider the words "UFF DA" on one side, 
with a pattern of little stitches all around it.

For those who aren't from the midwest, the expression "uff da" (or oofda") 
is a scandinavian phrase spoken when something is a little overwhelming, 
whether good or bad -- for example, if it is extremely hot outside, someone 
might say "UFF DA".  Similarly if something smells bad.  It also applies if 
something is wonderful or beautiful, for example, when winning a big award, 
or when seeing a very pretty girl.

I will be giving the box cover to my sister-in-law to remind her of me, 
because she has horrific allergies, especially to all my perfumes.  I 
thought it was only right to give her an uff da box to her tissues...lol

I also took some origami and beading and safety pin beading, which I'm still 
doing now.  You all are such great teachers!

I never did take any of the knitting or crochetting classes, as I already am 
a knitter/crocheter.  No time to do it lately.  But you guys seem to have a 
lot of fun with it!

Besides this, I also taught 2 macrame classes -- hope you all were able to 
finish the belts!

And last but not least, I enjoy the list, when I have any time to follow it. 
I jump in and out, like I'm doing today.

Hope I haven't forgotten anything!
Happy December!
My new grandnephew is due to be born today, but we have o word yet!  Very 
anxiously and excitedly waiting for that phone call.  We call my niece, but 
she says she is getting calls from both sides of the family and is just 
waiting like everyone else.  All checkups look good.  I'll fire off a baby 
announcement when he comes! His name will be Benjamin.

Oh, and I made a little keychain boy as taught by Gail.  I made the blue and 
white one for my niece and her husband.  It is so adorable! It wasn't the 
first one I made -- I made another color first to get the hang of it.  I 
gave that one to my Mom, as she was such a good sport about helping me pick 
beads off the floor.  (I am in a wheelchair and can't reach the floor when I 
drop things.)  Mom lolved the little figure.  I was surprised -- she started 
out by saying that was a dumb project, but when it was done, and she looked 
at the whole thing together, she got attached to it...lol Thanks Gail!

Happy krafting all!

Can you believe it December 1st?  Where did this year go.  Just  24 more
days until Christmas.  Winter is really upon some of us a lot more  then
others.

We are all trying to get those crafting projects done for decorating the
home or finishing up that Christmas present or knitting the hat to keep warm
since you made everyone else one except yourself.

I would really like to put together a reflection of Krafters Korner for our
 website and I would like to ask for your help.  Can everyone send a little
 something to the list that caught you especially about Krafters Korner.
Whether it was a class you especially liked, a funny that happened while
doing  your crafting, something that touched your heart, a helpful word or 
just
a phone  call from someone on the list.

Now don't everyone of you send in the one about "Joyce blowing on the beads
 to find the hole".

I would like you to tell us about Krafterts Korner in 2010 and what comes
to your mind.
