Try the Boleks crafts site.  Their kits come with paterns, but you will need someone sighted to read it to you.  We have found errors in their paterns.  Their snow flakes are rather easy.  They have sun catchers.  I do not know if they are the same as the one we did with Theresa.  Their paterns will not scan well, because the print is extreamly lite.
I do not want to give out the snow flake patern, I learned, because either I or Theresa might teach it next year.  I am working on designing some items, myself and if they work out as planned, in my head, they could be tought in the future.  There is a teddy bear and I think a dog, on the Boleks site.

Have you ever done plastic camvas?  I have tought 2 classes.  It is like needle point, but you do it on a plastic grid and the holes are bigger.
You can make, coasters, cleanex boxes, ornaments, eye glass cases, book marks, magnets...!
It is another craft that you can be very creative with.
Let me know what you all would like to learn to make.  Some of you were having trouble, with the last class, so I am afraid to do anything more complicated.  Those that have had experience, would you like to shair and have an ornament class, next year.  It would be fun to learn some new ideas and shair what I have created.
Unless you speak up and let us know your interests or ask if you can make, I will not know what class to offer.
Questions may bring around classes.  Bring on the ideas!

Hi Terry,

I've been searching the internet this morning for safety pin beading patterns, but most of the time, all I can find are pictures of instructions, not instructions that I can read. It seems to me that I remember a discussion about this very topic happening about the time I joined the list. Some one had said that they were able to get some of the patterns put into text by some one on about.com.  I'd really like some of the patterns I saw there, particularly those of animals and flowers. Do you happen to remember who it was who said they had some patterns? Do you have any patterns to share?

I'm planning to take the snowman class in January, but would enjoy making some flowers and animals too. But I am open to all patterns.
