I received my crimping pliers in the mail this morning and I am pleased!
Hopefully this will be another instrument that helps to improve my beading :)

I've only just recently learned about these fabulous pliers and if you've not discovered them already, here's a couple pics that my googlefu picked up.

That's all for now - off to play with my new toy!

After quite a while not being (too) active on Etsy.com, I have come back!

I am still without my sewing machine (so no pads or nursing pads for now) but I really really hope to get everything in that area back in order!
Shouldn't be too much longer and I can just sew 'till my mind goes numb! Oh yes, I am absolutely looking forward to it :D I've been feeling sort of lost lately not sewing.

Anywho, I used to make jewelry (mainly necklaces) back when I was in high school and thought I would give it another go.
Since then, I've worked on my techniques and improved quite a lot!
Mainly everything on my Etsy.com site right now is jewelry, but I hope to do mostly my pads.

Check me out, folks:
