You're very pretty! Prettier than you used to be. Just like me. :-)

I love sparkles and I really admire your tenacity with all of your projects. Me, not so much. My floorcloth is still waiting for two sides to be glued.
:-\

To answer your question, part of me is looking forward to hunkering down and writing more when the cold winds blow. I would love to knit again, but knitting doesn't lend itself to the interruptions that my dogs provide.

Hey to all, I hope everyone gets a chance to check out the links that Steve supplied. He is so right. I printed the size charts and Page 4 is exactly what I needed. Next time I won't have the same concerns with rhinestones or beads. Thanks, Steve-O, you're the best!

Hi Susan, this is a wonderful blog post that will be very helpful for first timer using the Bejeweler and Swarovski Hotfix Rhinestones. It was great to hear and see step-by-step what your experience was. You have great photos and it looks like you did a fantastic job on this first project. The red and green crystal snowflake design was very cute and will be fun to wear this holiday season.

I am sorry to hear of the challenges you had trying to figure out the Swarovski crystal sizes and do appreciate that feedback. We do include the size of each crystal in millimeters on each product detail page but clearly we need to do a better job. I’m going to ask our team to come up with more ways to make the size easier to find and understand.

One tip I did want share with you and your readers was to print out the Swarovski Wireframe Bead Diagram chart we have on our Swarovski Resources page. On page four of this chart you’ll find a handy reference to the stone sizes. It shows each stone size in millimeters and inches along with a visual reference.

We also have a Swarovski 2028 Hotfix Flatbacks shop by size page that provides more of a visual reference so you can see the difference between SS08 to SS48. Hope this helps.

Thanks for creating this fantastic intro to using the Bejeweler and Swarovski 2028 hotfix rhinestones!

I love women who wear sparklies! I can't wait to see what else you do with your jewels. :)

I find that I am the most productive in the winter time, partly because my creative juices usually get flowing at night and nights are much longer! I am also more apt to work on projects that take more time to complete.

I'm in sewing mode right now but am starting to get the drawing/painting bug back again.
