[Nfb-krafters-korner] shopping at Joann's

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Wow Now what will be the first thing you make with your new treasure of  
supplies?!??!!
 
My Ghingger  scissors that I told you about I don't use for cutting  fabric 
for making clothes, but I do use them for snipping cloth and trimming  
edges of cloth, yarn, trims, lace etc.  I use wire cutters for metal stuff  and 
I thought of using my Ghinggers for cutting reed on the baskets, but after I 
 got the kits there was several different with and thickness of the reed 
and  decided I would be better off getting a pair of scissors from where I 
orderd the  reed kits to use.  
 
I do have different scissors for different things and I don't usually just  
grab any pair.  My Mama taught me well to respect my scissors.  I  still 
have a pair of elephant scissors that I bought for my kids to use when  they 
were just starting school   The handle is blue and has a rounded  shape with 
an elephant printed on it.  My Princesses use the elephant  scissors to cut 
paper projects and plastic ice cream wrappers.

Hi  all,



Today I had a wonderful morning shopping at Joann's with  my crafty friend.





I purchased some scissors, they were  5 inch scissors made with titanium and
are very light weight. When I was  looking at the more expensive scissors my
friend said to me that I should  not buy those kind if I might use them on
things other than fabric because  it would ruin them.  because I must admit
that I usually grab whatever  is at hand, I could not promise her that I
would always do that. So$8  scissors, but they will be an improvement over 
my
paper  scissors!



Then I bought yarn for that new shawl I was telling  you about. I chose
Deborah Norvill serenity chunky which is a 5-ply and  very soft. It is
acrylic and the color description from Sarah  says:

Stormy: stripes of dark blue, dark gray, medium blue, and medium  green with
flecks of white. 



Then I couldn't resist the  beads. Oh what fun I had looking at beads! I had
no idea how many pony bead  sized beads there were in the world! Some were 
in
the children's' section,  but there were tons more in the funky bead aisle 
as
well. It was so much  fun touching all the fascinating shapes and textures.
But I didn't go  absolutely crazy and only purchased a set of those wooden
beads for my hemp  bracelets, and two  sets of 9 count beads that came in a
variety of  shapes. I don't remember what the beads are made of, perhaps
glass, but  each of the 9 is different in color, pattern, shape, and texture
and with  two packages I can have the units and tens columns match for my
stitch  counter bracelet. 



Then I purchased some rattail cord and  buckles for more bracelets.



I didn't max out my credit card and  have some fun things to play with  now.



Cathy
