J, there was a point in the stamping world when beading became all the rage (fickle crafters!) and one of our best customers at the shop drew a hard line there. She would say "Oh, I can't get started with that whole bead mess."
Wise woman, says April, who did not draw that line and ended up with a ton of seed beads, beading threads, beeswax, beading needles, and size 00 knitting needles (for making bracelets). Which she then gave away to someone at some point.
LMA spent his childhood doing spool knitting, dipping candles, marbling paper, weaving potholders, and making friendship bracelets, clove apples, and woodshop projects. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised when he announced his switch from pre-med to art school.
