It made me laugh, but when I started cooking, I really needed a book like that! Did I put enough water in the pan?enCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Debug Build: 40407.4157)http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2007/09/18/stepping-up-to-ladder-stitch.aspx#2388Sat, 29 Sep 2007 05:46:39 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:2388CynthiaC@45God, I found great projects to do!

I love lampwork too and anything that is handmade and unique, but lately I've been buying more seed beads!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2387" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2007/09/18/stepping-up-to-ladder-stitch.aspx#2386Thu, 20 Sep 2007 23:07:20 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:2386Coley JThe ladder rings are beautiful. I really like yours Michelle! I love the colors you chose. I am a beginner and have just recently signed up with Beading Daily. I didn't know anything about lampwork beads, but I saw them on one of your past articles and they are my favorite!! So fun and colorful. What are you favorite beads, Michelle? I am truely enjoying my Beading Daily e-mails. I loved the video by the way. Thank you for posting that. I also wanted to let you know that I really enjoy all of the interviews, projects and seeing your personal creations - along with other artist's jewelry. It's so refreshing to come on after work and enjoy a dose of beading. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! I appreciate it!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2386" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2007/09/18/stepping-up-to-ladder-stitch.aspx#2385Wed, 19 Sep 2007 21:09:53 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:2385Michelle MachHi Sara, I agree--this ring is just about the perfect amount of ladder stitch! Jennifer--I'm hoping we'll get a real studio--lighting, a microphone, the works!

A ring is a great "practice" as well as a quick finished item, where it's not near so "when will I be done with the ladder part" as a bracelet can be on my 7-12" wrists (ie, I make 7-3/14-8-1/4" bracelets, as 7-1/2" is too tight).<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2384" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2007/09/18/stepping-up-to-ladder-stitch.aspx#2383Wed, 19 Sep 2007 20:27:27 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:2383JenniferK@61I liked the step by step video to show how to do the ladder stitch, but the lighting was not flattering to you at all. demand a reshoot.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=2383" width="1" height="1">
