Classy Chick JbyJill says:Awesome colors that are still soft and stylish!! And you hate stringing??????? Do you only do bead stitching or do you also do wirework??

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Lynn, beautiful pick for your daughter! She has such a pretty name too! Would she wear jewelry if you made this for her? I would!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Good questions Jill! I was wondering the same thing, but got distracted…

Lynn in Oz says:Thanks
Jill- I do 99% bead stitching. Wire and I just don’t mix. I can do the basics and that serves it’s purpose for when I need things for myself, but anything intricate- forget it.
Lori- Eden beads herself (she is 13), however I have made her a few things and she does wear them. Jewellery is the only thing where she is a bit girly LOL

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Hi, Lynn! Good to see you back picking!
Love this gorgeous combo of blues! Eden has good taste!
I love blues, too — my fave color!
Give Jabari a tummy rub from the other Lynn, please!

Lynn in Oz says:Lynn- I have been trying to bead…. thumb is ok, although I did poke under the nail with a needle, I just don’t like the colours I am using so I am avoiding it LOL
Where else would a girl go to avoiding beading, but Lima???
Maybe when I get my rhodochrosite cabs off Etsy, I might get stuck in….
Thanks for the comments everyone
Oh and Lynn I will give him a big belly rub after he has finished his apple

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:That’s good he likes apples — an apple a day keeps the doctor (or vet!) away! LOL
I saw the new pix of your healed thumb — still looks sore. Sorry to hear you poked yourself under the nail — that had to hurt!
On Jul 24, 2009 at 9:41 pm #
Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Lynn, I had forgotten about your poor thumb. It still hurts when I think about it… and the needle & nail, ohhh…
I love the designs you’ve posted in the Gallery! I’ve always loved the feel of stitched beads, but lack the patience to do it myself. You do beautiful work!
Will you be stitching bezels for the cabs you’re getting? That will be something to see – hope you post photos…

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Glad Eden likes to bead too! It’s nice to have a mother-daughter hobby at that age! My son just turned 13 – how the time flies!

Chicky Bear-Tara says:Beautiful. My daughter is the same way. She’s 10. Never liked dolls. Loves jewelry. She used to like pink, but hasn’t for a few years now. Blue and black is her favorite.
