    Thank you guys! I've got recipients for both the pearls and the blue one.

    Stratsmom - I didn't think that way, but you are of course right. I also like to receive home made gifts, but I'm so used to being the weird one out so I wasn't sure that others think like me.

    Wow! Hubby and I also make jewelery. It is a great cottage industry. Any woman would be pleased and proud to wear any of these creations. :-D

    We're just getting our jewelery stuff out and ordering some glass rods now. We're beadmakers so we make the main bead and then build the necklaces around them. It's so fun. We're always looking for new ideas too. I know that amber and black stuff is a big seller for us. 8)

    *making notes* I'll have to buy some amber and black stuff then. What a pity I didn't think of it this summer, Denmark is awash with amber.

    Right now I realized I lack small, white glass beads and some chains. My two nieces would probably love something in pink and white.

    How much patience does one need to make beads, I wonder?
