beads for the first time

2009-06-24T00:09:00.008+03:00

Knitting and crochet accessories doesn't come here often, and sometimes I find myself drooling and frustrated over the internet whenever I got the chance to see some of it like stitch marker, holders and cable needles.When I saw a video on DIY stitch marker and row counters, I was inspired and decided to learn how to do some beadings. So when I was in Manila, I bought several beads, eye hook,

What have I been up to? My April has been a roller coaster ride, actually it started on the later part of March, when I was diagnosed to have multiple gall bladder stones with the size averaging to 11.4mm. If haven't been exposed to knitting and crocheting I wouldn't have any idea how big is an 11.4mm is! I was afraid and at the same time determine to stop the attacks, it was so painfully, I
