Hi I was happy to find your group.I make alittle jewelry and like someothers I hoard some too. My problem is designs. I need patterns and I can do most anything. I also enjoy crocheting, scrapbooking,knitting , candle and soapmaking, and I'll try craft once. I've just learned to knit and to spin my own yarn. I have 4 children and 10 crandchildren and another coming in June. I'm a teachers aide and work in a school for children with various problems.We share a campas with a childrens home where children live rangeing in ages 8 to 21. Can't think of anything else hope to contribute something to this group as I know I will be learning more about beading . Linda

Hi Linda! There are alot of design idea's and patterns to be found on the internet. Plus if you look through Amazon there are a ton of books on jewelry making too. I know I've been inspired by jewelry groups that I've been associated with, plus patterns from about.com and I've bought quite a few reference books too, which are always helpful. Like yourself I'm what my kids call a 'crafter-freak'. I love to try EVERYTHING...and I have to do it RIGHT NOW. hahahaha Knitting I struggle with, but I love to crochet and I'm envious you spin your own yarn! Take care..Pat

Welcome, Linda. I'm just the opposite of you. I can absolutely not follow a pattern, though if I read a pattern, and start to follow it, I'll end up making something similar.
You might find something on about.com
