Great Idea! I knew someone years ago who did not have glass beads so she took her husbands stash of sinkers from his fishing tackle and his washers from his tool chest. I always say "what ever works"!! LOL

L.A.C.E. Fall Newsletter contains a photo of just that. Pencils with grooves cut out and used for makeshift bobbins. I did that for a group lesson and it worked out just fine. �Jane O'Connor jjo...@sbcglobal.net New Lenox, IL USA Good friends are like stars, You don't always see them, but they are always there. ________________________________ - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
