It's almost fall. It's almost secret santa time. We'll be bearing down on the holiday season very soon. So I'm bringing this favorite thread back to the top again, to see what folks are doing.

Kat, are you crafting more now that you've been recuperating for a while? What are you up to? What are our metal smiths doing, and how about our woodworkers? Sewers (that doesn't work!--how about "those who sew), crochet folks, those who tend to their own knitting. . .

I'm sick to death of political threads. Even below the line, Mudcat is so much more. I'm in the design stage of my beading. All of the beads and findings are here, except the final selections of wire/thread/silk/monofilament and needles. (Ha! As if that were nothing! I have a friend who has made jewelry for years, and we're going to go through some of my proposed projects and she'll make recommendations). There was a great article in Martha Stewart Living last spring that had a lot of good diagrams and examples.
