I just started getting into making jewelry and my husband bought me, for a gift, the book "Jewelry Making and Beading for Dummies". I just got it last night and it's a really great book! I'm sure once I get the hang of making jewelry that I will still use this book as a reference. I was dreaming of making jewelry last night! My husband said I was talking about beads in my sleep! :)

I never even knew they made a "Dummies" book for beading. I going to have to look for it next time I'm in the book store.
I usually buy a Beading magazine or two every month. They have great ideas in the them and I love look at some of the creations these artists make with beads.
I don't think I dream of crafting and creating, I probably dream of not having to go to work the next day...lol.

lol i did some beading for a while, its really fun past time as long as you dont have shakey hands! lol. I have no idea what happened to all my beads, i think that my mom gave them away when i moved away to another province. i guess i cant blame her for not wanting to hang on to all my junk lol. I also did candle making around the same time. That also is a neat hobby to get into and if/when you get bored of the beading you should give candles a try :)

Oh thats it - you've caught it and it is a serious condition - The Beading Bug.
It is something that once you have caught
it you will have it for life! If you have
been dreaming about creating and talking
bead talk in your sleep it does have a grip
on you but you know it totally has you when
you not only dream and bead talk in your
sleep but that you wake up no matter what
time of night and you simply HAVE
to create!
I have been beading for many years now and
I love it so much.
Just wait until your designs just come to
you - you won't need any books - only
books where you scribble down your own
unique designs because your hands cant
keep up with your brain! haha
