We decided<br>that buying yarn without a project or plan, even if it is wonderful or a<br>good sale, is not real smart. But then we discussed just how much yarn to<br>buy when we come across those have to have sales. lol<br> <br> We talked about finishing one project before starting another. But I<br>mentioned that i would like to have a couple things going, such as a dish<br>cloth that is easy to take and do and a larger project by my rocker.<br> <br> We also talked about the sock class that Joyce plans on teaching in<br>February.<br> <br> I don't think we solved the yarn problems of the world. But all four of us<br>agree that our projects will continue during 2010.<br> <br> Henrietta<br> ~I wish you enough~Krafters Kornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09057020998582230588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020022458979242143.post-74188414146623931922009-12-29T23:59:00.000-05:002009-12-30T00:00:45.098-05:00FW: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Overview of Tonight's Chat.Hi Folks:<br> <br> Just writing to give a short over-view of tonight's chat. Lucy, Carol and<br> myself called into the chat tonight and we talked for about an hour.<br> <br> Carol told us about her Pen Friend and the different ways she has come up<br> with for using it in labeling her yarn and ways to reuse the little<br> stickies for recording notes. Carol also told us about a neat sounding<br> Inca loom that she got as a Christmas present. I told a little bit about<br> my bead loom and how it works. Lucy talked a bit about her beading and<br> learning about beading through the classes given by Laurie.<br> <br> We had a bit of a conversation about signing up for the Hairpin Lace class<br> that will be given next week and signing up for classes on the web site.<br> By the way, is it normal to be prompted to enter a password on the web<br> site? I am not prompted for a pswd, but Carol has encountered it.<br> <br> I got my hairpin lace loom from Herrschners and its not like anything I<br> ever remember seeing. I'm looking forward to the class. Carol assures me<br> its not difficult.<br> <br> While we were talking, a new person called into the chat looking for<br> information on signing up for the list. I think she told us her name was<br> Mary. She is interested in taking both knitting & crochet classes. She<br> has tried getting lessons locally, but is having some trouble getting good<br> explanations. We directed her to the web site and signing up for the<br> email list &/or contacting Joyce.<br> <br> Well that's about it for tonight. Hope I didn't leave anything important<br> out.<br> <br> Hope to get to talk with more of you after the new year!<br> <br> Happy crafting.<br> <br> EileenKrafters Kornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09057020998582230588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020022458979242143.post-5879432913426052532009-11-03T23:34:00.001-05:002009-11-03T23:36:12.195-05:00New Class PostedA new plastic canvas class has been posted.

Fun making soap! December 6, 2 p.m. eastern time
Have fun using melt-and-pour soap with some fragrance oils and color if you would like or some of the special additives that are available.
You will need at least one mold, 1 pound of melt-and-pour soap, 1/2 ounce of fragrance oil (safe for skin) and if you like, color or glitter, etc.
Remember, if you only have one mold, you will have to pour it and leave it to set up. This can take from 2 hours to over night.
Other supplies you will need: 2- or 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup, wooden spoon, cookie sheet and microwave. You may melt the soap in a double boiler if you prefer.
I suggest you purchase your supplies from
<a href="http://www.brambleberry.com/">www.Brambleberry.com</a>
You must contact me by email no later then December 1st to sign up for this class. Send your name, phone number and email address to: <a href="blindhands@aol.com">Blindhands@aol.com</a>
I will send out the phone number and code number for this class on December 5.
Come and have fun

<span style="font-weight: bold;">instructor:</span> Laurie Porter
<span style="font-weight: bold;">email:</span> <span><a href="mailto:freespirit1@tds.nett">freespirit1@tds.net</a></span>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">start date:</span> November 21, 2008-6:00 pm CST
<span style="font-weight: bold;">number of sessions:</span> 1
<span style="font-weight: bold;">sign up deadline:</span> <span>You must sign up in order to take the class as the specific information about the conference call and class recordings will not be posted to the list and blog.</span>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">description:</span> <span>The class involves making a choker style necklace with two strands of seed beads and some larger focal beads and then finishing with your choice of clasps.
<span style="font-weight: bold;">supplies needed:</span>
1. Seed beads any color in the sizes you desire and will feel comfortable working with, such as size 6 which are the largest seed bead, or subsequent smaller sizes such as 8, 9, 10, or 11. If you are not sure what the sizes feel like, just remember that the corresponding sizes are measured in the number of beads it takes to make an inch. Size 6 seed beads when lined up side by side measures 1 inch. Size 8 seeds require eight beads to make an inch and so on. You should purchase at least 10 grams of seeds.
2. At least ten large focal beads of any style in size 4mm or larger. This is where your artistic flare can work for you. I suggest beads such as faceted round or bicone crystals, gold filled or sterling silver, letter or number, glass (such as dichroic, fire polished, or fuentes), gemstone nuggets or even pearls--the world is your oyster.
3. A clasp size 2.5mm or its equivalent. I suggest using a toggle clasp which has a ring on one end and a bar and ring on the other. Magnetic clasps are good for this project and are easy to fasten.
4. I recommend using the Big Eye beading needles. For those of you unfamiliar with beading needles, the Big Eye needles are easy to thread and require no needle threaders. They look like two pieces of flexible wire attached at both ends that separate and open in the middle. They come in a short and a longer size and either one will work.
5. Bead thread in a neutral color such as Nymo brand size F or any other beading thread in a large size. Power Pro, Fireline, or Spider Wire braided fishing line no smaller than a 10 pound test weight.
If you have any questions please email me. If you would like to purchase your supplies online, <a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" href="http://www.fusionbeads.com/">http//www.fusionbeads.com</a> will have all that you need with free shipping on any order.
