I brought mine with me...hopefully soon I will get unpacked and organized and can make some more hair beads. I haven't made anything in a few years...I'm probably too blind to get the needle threaded now.


if you are serious, Cindy---try looking this up on the internet. I thought I had a phone number--but i could not find it. I do have the addy of the company whho makes them though. I use these for my quilting-- they are amazing. They are called: Optivisor. They are maganfying glasses of sorts on a visor that you wear on your head. Wear them with glasses or without.

I have a magnifier that goes around my neck, and I have magnifier eye glasses, those (not at the same time) and a small high intensity lamp I can point right at the work are what makes it doable for me.

I used to make a lot of beaded jewelry but haven't done it in a long time. I guess I just never really know what to do with my projects when I finish them. I used to make beaded pouches, little mini purses that you wear like a necklace but those are so time consuming.

You can sell handmade things on Etsy.com Anything technology related should do really well.

I could very easily make cell phone holders. Maybe I should try one just for the fun of it. Thanks for the idea Tina.
