Kim_B said:...but I make way too many things and wanted to share with other who might appreciate them! These are two prayer beads I made last night/this morning...
St. Gerard Chaplet, patron Saint of expectant mothers or those wishing to conceive (made for a good friend who is having a lot of trouble getting pregnant):
A Peace Chaplet (made for my Grandmother, I think):
I don't really subscribe to any particular denomination, but I figure if these little prayer beads can bring some hope and peace to the lives of my loved ones, far be it for me to judge. I loved making them, and think they are so beautiful. I have some awesome jade I'm going to be using for another Peace Chaplet. The nice thing about those, is you can make them and use them for anything - religious offerings or just to meditate. Anyway...that's my craftiness for the weekend.

Pink Dahlia said:As previously mentioned I can't sew worth a darn but I did make these:
It's important when making flower barrettes that you use the right glue.
Kimberly said:At some point I would love to learn how to really sew but I am taking baby steps. It is actually very relaxing. I am going to be quitting smoking later this month and I am going to substitute it with sewing because it will take my mind off of it and give me something to do with my hands.
Joie DeVive said:If you don't mind me asking, what kind of glue do you find works for floral barrettes/clips? I haven't had much luck with making them. When I make them, they tend to want to fall apart! (Usually, at the most inconvienient time possible!)
