Looking for some beading friends on here. I have been doing it for about 2 years now. I really enjoy it and it's fun to have craft buddies. I also crochet and have recently combine the two. I embroidery also and may add beads to some of that later.

I have been beading from time to time since last summer. I enjoy making jewelry with beads and things. I have an idea of making a vase with some wire and beads. I have some patterns for purses with a beaded strap and I would like to try to make it but I don't know if the strap would break and I would lose all the beads.

I would love to see some of your bead work. I am having my 1st bead show this weekend and so I am nervous. Your vase pattern sounds intriguing. And I love the beaded purses. If you could use wire and secure it real well I don't think the strap would break. We can always toss ideas back and forth. I love doing that.

I love your kitty pictures! I have a black and white one named Fancy. Your bracelets are really neat. I have never seen any done like that, so you have the market there.

I enjoy beading and beadweaving. a lot of people do crochet using wire and beads and the results are really beautiful. I've always struggled to get my head around crochet though.

A lot of people tell me that about crochet. I am that way with knitting. I can knit a little bit but not like some folks. It is fun to combine the beads and crochet.

What is beading? I do a lot of cross stitching,embroidery and a few other crafts. I have tried to crochet in the past, but I could not get the hang of it. I have seen a lot of discussions on here about cross stitching, but none about beading.

Beading is making jewelry or other objects of art using beads. You could even add them to your cross stitch. I bet you make some lovely things.

Yes, they taught crochet in Home Economics when I was going to school. I actually had trouble with it since I learned when I was so young. I hold my hook like a child holds their spoon and that is not the proper way to hold the hook. It does not effect the work any but my teacher was hung up on technique. So, that was an issue. I agree, I think they should still teach such things in school.
