Beads! Small red and gold and pink beads. Pretty blingy beads in little bags. They speak to this girl's blingy heart. Yes, yes they do.
I will now need to devise another method to add them to projects, since I don't have a crochet hook small enough to get through the holes. I am undeterred. Once again, thanks Tanya!
I thought I would take this opportunity to provide links to those blogs that took part (or will imminently be blogging about taking part) in The Blog Hub Swap - just in case you might want to join in on the week-long giftapalooza next time.

If I've missed anyone, I apologize ... and I'll add your url in later!
So, does that mean you were the Grand Organizer??
ReplyDeleteI've caught a few posts on some of these blogs along the way... it's been fun reading the excitement. :-)
No, I wasn't the Grand Organizer - that would be Kismet's Companion. :) Nevertheless, I thought it might be nice for readers to see other's swappy gifts and put all of it into some kind of context.
DeleteOoh, I didn't know you needed a small crochet hook sorry, I thought you just threaded them on to the yarn using a beading needle and pulled them up with your yarn when you were including one in a stitch. So much has been learnt from this swap! One more day left... :0)
ReplyDeleteWell, a beading needle is another way to go about it! That's why I said no worries - I'll come up with Plan B. Since I've only used beads in crochet projects, the crochet hook method is all I've used thus far. :)
DeleteI think you can use a beading needle or dental floss - I've definitely seen dental floss mentioned somewhere ;)
ReplyDeleteThe beads are really pretty :)
Thanks! I've gotten a URL and everything. :)
DeleteAnd the beads are pretty - I agree.
Hi Denise, if you look in the area where they sell floss, you will find a package of something called floss threaders, they are fine plastic loops used for threading floss between bridgework and they are wonderful for beading!

Thanks so much for the tip! See, I knew we'd come up with Plan B. :)
