Wire Jewelry...

1. • 20 gage permanently colored wire wrapped into a heart on a wire jig. (picture will be here soon)
   

2. • if you’ve never tried wire work you can get a the Wild Wire kit that has wire, round nose pliers & a Jig with mixed pegs
   

3. • Wire Jewelry is great if you have just a few beads lift over from past projects.

Interviewees wanted:

1. •  Do you have a great craft story? How did you get into crafts?? Did your Great Grandma do something cool crafting??? Share your story. Contact me I would love to interview you to include in a future show.
   

New Favorite Magazines:

1. •  Crafts ‘n Things - Great magazine that has a little of everything in Crafting. Quilting to Rubber Stamping, Jewelry to Crochet
   

2. •  Then they have a sister magazine called Pack-O-Fun which has great patterns and ideas for crafting with kids.

What I’ve been addicted to:

1. •  My Grandmother has some old costume that “as is” I wouldn’t wear but re-strung are really beautiful. One of the newest things I’m playing with right now are bead frames. They are very light weight frames that get strung into your project with one of the beads your working with in the center.
