Okay, beads first: I wanted to let you know that Susan has been adding how-tos to her Bead Simple website. You can see two video tutorials there – one for making a Solo Earring, and the other for making the necklace from the cover of the Bead Simple book.
While you’re there, you can also download a PDF pattern for Natalie’s iPod cozy design, and link to a photo tutorial for Sarah’s lovely tote bag.
Susan plans to add more how-to’s to the site, all thing of course depending on the any-day-now arrival of her new baby.

Next, BUTTONS, as promised. Here’s a perfect illustration of the vagaries of button-shopping on eBay: I paid (gulp) $14.00 for this handful of buttons. I swear I did not mean to. But they kept outbidding me, and I kind of lost my head. I mean, look at them!
I paid five bucks for this giant load. Unsorted, not-so-clean, and harboring odd bits of non-button things.
Well . . . what are ya gonna do, right?
