    Glad you have the thread burner back in stock I am enjoying learning to bead and love monthly kits. Thanks for being there to help me on utube I've made mistakes but I work myself backwards until I get to the booboo. Today it looked like a spider but I didn't stop going back through. Oh my, it is a challenge I look forward to tackling, and a new hobby as well. Thanks Allie!!

    I love that a pattern that I like offers the items that I need to complete the project. The only thing is that sometimes I cannot get the items that I need because they sell out too fast.
