I agree with you - not having the end in mind, but simply diving in often gives the best results. Hmmm... maybe I should contemplate that for other areas of my life!!!<br><br>Take for example the beaded comb I make for my mother-in-law every Christmas. This year, I had to re-start it three or four times before I got it to work. I ended up going back and buying some charms, even though I had no idea how they would fit onto the comb. In the end, it was the best one I'd ever done for her.SuzynWed, 31 Dec 2008 16:18:14 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-perfect-gift-for-a-friend-intuitive-beading/#comment-4800344Hi Suzyn, you've nicely summed up a strategy for buying a great selection of beads while having fun. I love it!<br><br>--<b>Dave<br>at Rings & Things</b>Dave at Rings & ThingsWed, 31 Dec 2008 13:10:40 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/the-perfect-gift-for-a-friend-intuitive-beading/#comment-4797882Suzyn- I am not a beader although it makes me smile to think of handling the beads, I wholeheartedly embrace the idea that intuition is a muscle! And like in beading, I think most times if we stay unattached to the outcome of our intuition, and are willing to start over, fix it or clean up the mess we made, we can really give our intuition free rein.pearl_mattensonWed, 31 Dec 2008 09:53:46 -0000
