When I started beading, I thought that I would first complete my list in RL and then post an announcement on here - surely there would be some women who would not mind giving me their postal addresses after knowing me for so long. And I do love making the necklaces, each a unique design.

But they are so expensive, I cannot turn my dream into reality! Some beads are as expensive as $12 each (for ONE bead).

What a shame - I thought it was a good idea.

Getting beads off eBay is very reasonable.
Can get nickel free findings also.

They are not all as expensive - not all beads in a necklace, just a few "accent" ones that are bigger, but still.

Thank you - it was such a blunder thought right before my trip I set out to make two last necklaces, designed one and started stringing but it was getting late so I left the tray with the unfinished necklace on the table. Next morning everything was on the floor in complete disarray and I could not pick up the pieces because I had to be packing.

So now I am short of gifts, and the morale of the story is... people who own cats should never leave loose beads on the dinner table.
