I don't beat my children and they are wonderful, well behaved children. You start training them the day they are born. Talk, teach, mould their character and be a role model. Flogging instils fear and warped personality . It doesn't always work out fine.

Maybe it's the way you brought them up.It's good to instil that fear in some of these children.My neighbour's children are so wild and rude because the only thing you hear the parents saying is "I will beat o" nothing more.You go to their house, you see the two kids(5 & 2yrs) jumping from one chair to the other, if their mum tell them to stop, the answer is "no".They even do it in presence of visitors, changing channels whenever they like and their dad is in the sitting room watching TV with their visitor, atimes you hear them telling their mum that her mouth is smelling and she will be laughing.When they are brought to my house they behave like saints because I don't tolerate their rubbish but once they see their mum, their wings will come out, that is when they would spoil one thing or the other in my room, touch things I'm making for my customers, jump on my bed.Whereas, I have visited their mum's friend who happens to be a kinda adviser to me, I was surprised, the kids (three of them) were in the sitting room, I never heard any noise till I, my neighbour and another guy left that house.

It's good to discipline children else they will turn out to be something you didn't bargain for, the youngest amongst my siblings is an example and my parents are seeing it now, a kid does something wrong, misbehaves, you won't flog him simply because he's the last child, when he becomes rude and disobedient, you start blaming the devil.
Flogging isn't the only way to correct a child though but sometimes, it'sthe most efficient.

Love shaped ring.Saw it online, you can try it out too.

Use Carotone, it's what I use now as I have tried so many options that failed.

THINGS NEEDED

1.Wire (1.25mm).

2.Mandrel.

3.Round nose plier.

4.Tear drop beads (2).

If you are confused, ask questions, I'm here.

One silly thing sent me an invite on BBM yesterday, I quickly accepted thinking it was a girl from nairaland because I dropped my pin and number for those who requested for it in the thread I created for tutorials. When accepted, I saw a a girl's picture but the person was quick to introduce himself that he's a guy and me his name and that he got my number and pin from nairaland, I said "ok".He asked where I live, I politely told him, the next thing was that he wanted to seemy picture, I asked "why", he said he just wanted to see it and he immediately sent his.All the while, I tried to be polite, I changed my dp and told him to check my dp because it was my work that was on display.

Next message I got from the id.ot was "wow, u re so hot and pretty" "u re so sexy, ur hip, I love it" "if u were here I would f**k u It was as if someone poured cold water on me, I quickly blocked him, didn't bother replying. I wasn't myself till I told my fiance later in the evening. I have removed my contact from the thread.It's so unfortunate, you chat with someone, you begin to imagine being intimate with her, does that make sense

tunbebes:

toyrus:
Pls ma, what if I want to put bead.ow will I do it?

Use needle to sew them.You can also use gum but your beads can fall off any time, it's better to sew them on.

Thebeadslady:

It's lovely....You are welcome

One has to be wise is this life.People like those they can cheat, I have encountered sooo many of them, I'm not ready to take that chance again

Rhukie:

Lovely.

douxange:
@anthoniaz, thank you so much for this thread. I haven't been posting cos I'm unable to buy materials where I am right now. As soon as I can you'll see all your work is not in vain. Thank you so much and God bless you and replenish you. All the best on your upcoming wedding.

You are welcome...it's alright. Thanks .

Bibol:
Collect your money abeg. Lots of people make promises they won't be able to fulfil. During my preparations, I categorically told those "aunties and uncles" to convert all the help to cash because some people were already handling it. I even have a cousin who does makeup, I didn't use her because I won't want a situation where I won't be able to complain about a service being rendered. All those things can cause unnecessary headache.
OP, your aunt didn't try at all

Yes..oo.I'm not using any family member or friend for anything. I know some family members and friends that do make up, deco and photography but I am using none of them.As a matter of fact I just bought my make up stuff worth abt 40k.The people I'm seeing charge 50k and above on top sey dem wnt rub me somtin wey I go later wash in the evening...I bought the things, atleast I will use them for more than a year.Another thing is that I wouldn't want to look like a mannequin.

People are still asking about the aso ebi materials, I told them I have not gone to market.I bought few pieces.

Hmmm, God knows we are not taking anybody seriously as our day draws closer.We are almost done with preparations.Some will be like "let me know if I can help in any way".Na "yes ma/yes sir" I dey answer.

Some will buy aso ebi and wouldn't want to pay.As I'm giving out my aso ebi, I'm collecting my money..people are heartless.
Op,that your auntie sha!

noncy21:
I tried d earring u posted earlier. I attached 3 jump ring but it did not balanced so I used a single wire to create 3loops to enable attach my ear hanger. Am rocking it and people ar admiring it. Thanks ma for ur selfless service.

Wow...it's lovely.When I get back I will teach you and any serious-minded person(s)more designs....You are welcome, I'm glad to be relevant in your life.

noncy21:
the pic is too small on my phone. Yea the first pic is arc shape. So how did u get the second shape? Pardon me for my too much questions. Is just dt am ready to learn. Tnx ma

Oh..no problem dear, I'n glad my effort here isn't in vain.
Sew thru the round part of your folded material(loose stitch-don't know if that term is correct) and draw in order to form a "gather".

Wait let me look for smtin to illustrate.Will upload it shortly.

noncy21:
yes ma. How many times wi I fold it to get the circular shape?tnx

You only need to fold once then you will get d arc shape.Check d picture I uploaded.

noncy21:
Good morning ma. Pls I av a question. I folded mine and I got arc shape. So my question now is how did u get circular shape?

Did u cut out a circular shaped cloth before folding?
Check he picture for guidance.

I blame the elder sister.My younger sister cannot come to my house and start telling me to tell my hubby to help her with house chores. She belittled her husband and that gave that girl the guts to disrespect the man in that manner.Even working class women take care of their homes, if the husband wants to help, then fine but not you as a married woman leaving your duties to your husband and sister just because he stays at home all day.
I'll understand if it's the elder sister that is complaining that her husband doesn't help her and it's just the two of them in the house.The way you treat your husband in presence of friends and family is the way they will treat him because you have given tbem the permission.

Sorry guys, I didn't know I would stay so long, it's all because of my wedding plans.

Since I won't be able to teach anything on bead now, let us try Ankara Petals hair piece.

Materials needed are:-Ankara, Round object, Needle, Thread,Clip/Comb, Beads (optional).

**Place a round object on the ankara or any other material you want to use and draw out a round shape.**Cut your material with scissors and fold into two like the first step you see on the picture. **Continue till you are done with all steps illustrated. **Make as many as you want and join all petals to form your hair piece.**Attach comb or clip.

Upload pictures when you are done.Thanks

We were just crazy that night but I have learnt it hard. It's still hilarious to me.

Ok

MrCork:
....brother...I don't mean to sound rude but ma profffesional opinion:

....u need yor brain physically replaced wit Panasonick battery's & to be honest...callin u stweeepid will be an insult to stewpiid people.

..u spent 15 years sleeping wit prostitutes & instead of testin yor sef for aids,sifilis or gonoria....u worrying about kissin an innocent university girl and then eventually destroy her life...abi?..... U think that makes u a real man?

...brother it's a great thing u not in London coz I get mofos like u locked up.

...please take this as a compliment & contructive critism to help yor mofo sef (no ooofense)

Chisos...I don die

Lol...very funny.You should have locked the door na.

[quote author=toyrus post=27258783][/quote]I don't know that one but I guess you can use it.It's not a must to use UHU gum.

Thebeadslady:
Following,thanks for creating this thread

You are welcome.

Thebeadslady:
Please how much can the handfan stick,net and petals cost? Thanks

Not more than a thousand naira.

@Toyrus and Tolexbabe:You are welcome. Thanks

Pls, where can I buy the handfan stick?[/quote]Ask people who sell wedding accessories, or those who are into making of hand fans.

So I made this earring a day before I travelled but didn't have the time to write out the steps. Can anyone try it out?

The tools you need are Mandrel (you can use any round object in place of mandrel if you don't have one) and Round nose plier.

Rhukie:
@ op you are doing a wonderful job

Thanks.

Fight for what you want because they have no reason. My fiance's family did same to me, they never wanted me instead they started accusing me of things I never did, threathened to kill me, insulted me(they would take turns to call me to insult and threaten me).It continued for good 3yrs.We never gave up (it's not a good experience I must confess) there are times you would want to walk away.

If you really love your partner, do everything to make it work, persuade your parents.

My case is a testimony, I'll forever be grateful to Almighty God.I can't still believe we are planning our wedding, I can't believe, I'm now in good terms with everyone. I thank God for the good heart he gave to me, I don't hold anything against anybody.

Op, I talked about my experience so you can know these things happen and you can still win the battle. Parents want to always control their children, they want to always decide what you should do and shouldn't and it's really annoying.
