My mum is getting hitched in a weeks time and l have a lovely dress, only thing is its got speghetti straqps and l dont want to have my arms always bear..
so l looked around for a scarf that would look good with the dress. The only problem being that the ones l liked were way out of my student budget!!!!! (violin music inserted here) so l got the material and beads etc and decided to custom one myself..
oh boy am l regretting it, l have been going for ages but it was my idea to have all those little glass beads..
I think l've bitten off more than l can cheew, l can see me still doing this the night before the wedding to make sure its done... to make it worse lm using that gossamer thread.. which means barely seen as in if yu drop it your stuffed...
hoo hum lm getting there ..

Too many times to count! Have you thought of browsing in thrift stores? How about getting some crafty friends together and trying to do it in pieces? GOOD LUCK!

Yes definatly thrift or second hand stores.
A thought...does your school have an arts dept? Maybe a student there can help you out in exchange for a favor from you.

Arnold can knit a cardigan for you.

Have you looked on Ebay?
Or rather than stitch each bead separately you could add a bead then a quick stitch repeatedly and tie it off after every tenth bead. Is that called slip stitch? But if you accidently snap the thread, you lose 10 beads not one!
Funny story: I make earrings and I had left some in a box on the floor. I used to use thin metal wire to put the beads on, but I found it looks nicer to use silver thread as the earrings 'swing' better and you can adjust the lengths.
Anyway, today I saw a bunny nibbling at one and quickly picked them up only to find he had left every single bead - even the tiniest little seed beads - but he'd eaten all the silver thread! :wah:
It's also amusing that bunny sites say you shouldn't feed your bunnies fresh food before 6 months as it might upset their tums. But my bunnies have chewed our clothes, shoes, carpet, walls and wallpaper, woodwork, books, wires, etc. Lol! They've even bitten a chunk out of my daughters red hair! (Hubby says they must have thought it was strawberries! :wah: ) So how come thats not included in the bunny diet books? Huh? :wah:

If you go to a thrift or second hand shop, go to one in a wealthy area!
Richer people donate more expensive stuff!
Try the Oxfam shop in St. John's Wood High Street, that's always worth a browse.

Bunny books don't know anything about silver thread!
You can give one or two little pieces of lettuce to baby bunnies about 4 months, once a day at din-din. My baby bunny is 5 months, almost 6. He eats a tiny bowl of greens every night now. I started with one little leaf at a time. He felt left out when Hamilton had his bowl of greens every night!

We were given some guidance notes when we bought the buns and it says in big red letters DO NOT feed bunnies lettuce or they will die! Apparently it has oxalic(?) acid in lettuce and tomatoes and its poisonous to them. (Having said that, I fed the bunnies I had years ago on lettuce and it was fine.)
And if the walls and the woodwork are edible to them then what harm can a lettuce leaf be?
They are also both feeling quite randy at the moment and keep trying to shag each other! :wah: Its hilarious to watch, but obviouly they need to be neuteured! Do you know what age they need to be Chonsi? And also, do you clip their nails or do you let the vet do it?
