Apparently you can participate via mail order but if that's not possible, you can still watch Vicky work on the class piece.  Aren't blogs fun?!

Vicky Plays Hookey

Vicky skipped her Seminar class this week and took a trip to Austin to visit Needle Works.  That has to be an excused absence, right?

Do Your Beads Run Away?

Do you stab yourself a whole lot when using a long sharp beading needle?  Have you gone blind trying to thread a beading needle?  Have you done more French knots that you thought humanly possible on one piece just so you don't have to open a box or tube of beads?  Which will immediately jump out of said box or tube and fly all over the room?  Do you avoid any piece that requires beads because you just can't stand beading any more?

Ann might have a solution.
