Madam @ d Top, I guess we are still following d schedule then. We need d Confab. Now we see d conclusion of d Confab as it affects us

Uncle Mojestle, Mama Ventures, abeg make I greet una before Principal will catch me,

stainless76: Good morning house, hope u all had a sound and pleasant sleep ..we give glory to almighty God...sorry to bother u all...Are these the same as the tubular we ve just been taught ? The sand beads looks more fuller ...pls can someone explain more on dis to me ...i ve been seeing d blue one on people's neck but it doesnt seem to me like d netted tubular taught before the NL had crisis ...thanks so much

It's a spiral stitch work, u can try using d internet to search for peyote spiral stitch

onose01: I can't upload all d pix o. Don't knw what is happening. My ba3 self don finish.

Well done Darling, my daughter is giving u thumps up here, can I give a back up, I usually make mine with just a line

ucheody: Lol @ outstandingjk

Lol of d highest order.

Bookhurla: Good morning my people,pls can anyone put me tru how to join this design to form a necklace.I ve tried my best,but I am unable to join it.

Read previous post, someone asked d same question and I answered there.

@Toynex, Everything needs moderation, I guess it's time to moderate people distracting, stressing and nagging @ u too. But u were a bit harsh with Ur post ooo, I guess they too will get it straight now. All the best jare. U try.

Toluak: Pls after d abuja connection,lets return to the normal schedule,dat means Onose01 wld be taking the tubular bead n lets continue dat way to avoid distractions.just my own opinion though so that pple wnt feel any lecture they so desire can be taken.No room for pressure(.laughing).kudos to our principal n teachers here.May the Lord strenghten u.

U r on point. I agree with u

TOYNEX: **I'm flattered**
U are a blessing to us here already. **winks**
U never gimme d ara update oo.

Thanks a lot, Ara went d other way around, trust Naija, they gave it to d guy dat bought auto fake likes. I had forgotten about it long ago.

onose01: Love this. Buriful. The price shld depend largely on d area u live. What will sell for 4k in some areas may not even sell for 2k in other areas. So calculate d cost of materials and add a reasonable workman's allowance. But alwaz tk note of d financial level of those u'r selling to.

bimsusy: im a newbie, i havent sold any bead before so i wouldnt know hw much a design goes for.

i'm a newbie so i wouldn't know how much a design is sold cos i haven't sold one before. i will suggest u calculate d cost of d material u used+ labour & fix a price

Thanks guys, I know Ucheody will consider Ur suggestions to her question. U r more like your sister's keeper

ucheody: @ Toynex pls do not be vexed. Outstanding only made an observation. My question on d price was directed to d experienced ones in d house. No vex o

Thanks dearie for having my back. Name only observation ooo

TOYNEX: please don't be quick to judge others, u already answer dats d deal... Everybody cannot answer every question... U only answer because u have an idea., most people haven't even sold a piece before how can dey suggest price? N price depends on so many factors not just quoting a figure. Do ur own n leave d rest

I wasn't judging anyone ma and I never said if ignoring is good or bad, I was just buttressing my point that we like ignoring questions on this thread, most people had seen it b4 me, am only trying to encourage everyone to be active on this thread. Am not sure I have asked any questions here sef, so it's not in my personal interest Ma.

onose01: Check this link. Me self neva sabi wella o. The one Yemtop taught in synergy thread was wiped out with NL b4 I mastered it.I got this site last 9t.

Google beaded balls by Jane Chew, I learnt mine from handmade jewelry blogback in d day. I Was putting on a strand of what's currently on my Nairaland pics when I went to buy beads at a shop, a middle aged woman walked and started speaking Igbo, after much nodding and smiling I opened up to her that I don't understand her language, she was like it's did my beads, make I teach her now, I asked her to sharpaly bring her materials and she was like, uwan collect money, I follow for this bead association, I couldn't but help to laugh, so we don get association now, in less than 5mintues, she made a beaded ball herself. She said she was in a haste and had wanted to hurriedly buy her stuffs but what she was gained is much more important than where she was hurrying to. I felt great for d entire day to have been a blessing to her. Bless people too just like Toynex

Well done Phummkay. Thumbs up

ucheody: My finished work! How much can I sell dis one? Phummykay will join soon. Pls can u post a pic of d finished one, been lookin fr it

Nice one, See what I observed yesterday, nobody wants to suggest how much u can sell it. I have no idea but I'll say #2,500

SerenaT: Pls what kinda gum can I use that'll stay well. The one I bought isn't working well. I bought 2 diff E6000 and I don't like the results. Is there any other one pls?

E 6000 is d best gum, maybe u haven't mastered d act of using it properly. Don't pour too much and give itsome time.

Loveti: pls can u tel me how to join d thread, hw to fix d hook and how did u make those earrings? Thanks

My way of adding FL, once I notice d current one is getting short, I cut a new length and do as if I want to make a know but I won't tighten it yet, I'll pass d short one that's about to finish into d know and then tighten, pick d current one and d tail of the new length and knot it some more times.

omostar: I think it is a portable knitting loom.

Ur thought is right, I also saw a look alike and they wrote wooolknittingloom on that. It's how to use it nowthat we r wwondering. U've been MIA Omostar. Welcome bk

arakulture: Sorry peeps, been neck deep in work.....i need a tailor asap, if u know anyone kindly send my email...info@arakulture.com someone around Gbagada and it's environs.

The clutch tutorial is for flat envelop Clutch no side included, d one with side is a different method method.

We might do dat in d future.

Thank u very much. U r really great. I'll just sew the sides then but will surely be waiting for the tutorial in future.

TOYNEX: so sorry for d disappointment... but don't hate of blame or hatetoiend for that, she must have learnt with money no matter how little n will only take God's heart to share for free... u should understand.
anyway
remove it from d pack n upload d content n d pics drawn on it. from what u just explained now, I deduce it is a knitting Nancy most of it are now being introduced into wireworks... but not 100% sure yet

Offer her small money too but the best way to get her to teach is going with the tool to see her and Ur wool, I bet she won't see u off without teaching u, even without money. If u learn finish, cum teach us here o. Lols

Thebeadslady: I cant see the picture of the catterpillar tool,

I downloaded this.

TOYNEX: u can answer too na ****Lols****
normally, I turn off images on my browser to save my data * I have enough to do wf data dan reloading same pix always* but I has to reload purposely to check d tool:
it doesn't look by familiar n I purposely ignore it cos I don't x reason why u should buy a tool u no no thing about... on a second though it will be easier to decipher its use if she can open d kit n upload d pix of d contents... naturally it will b a substitute for something common because ideally no wire working tool goes by the name "caterpillar" or at least non that I know of.

Lols of d highest order for my side oo. Me too never see am before oh but u r right it's a knitting tool, she gave a better clue by adding the wool stuff. was able to locate it, still searching on how to use it. Am just on d side of adding more to d little I know ni o.

houseofjoy: it has been wiped ma due to d attack. I also need it. Searched through the pages but cudnt find it. And this is d caterpillar tool I talked about.

I notice we avoid answering questions on this thread, we just do like we no see d caterpillar too.

arakulture: Trying to upload a sketch but network no agree, will do later....

Note the figures of d Clutch division for later.

Now use your pattern to cut out your fabric and lining. Iron your interfacing (wordy or gum stay) on d fabric and lining, then it's time to sew.

Place ur ironed fabric and lining together, (right side together) and sew abt 0.5 inches round leaving abt 3inch at d side.

Now trim/clip d hedges then turn inside out and iron iron flat, then sew d 3inches opening u left earlier.

To fold, measure d division/panel we drafted on ur pattern and fold, after folding sew down and round ur Clutch if u want.

If you are using magic tape sew it in before folding or tack press button for closure, u can accessorise d top with a brooch or old earring.

Will post pix later.


Hope u understand, if not ask ur question and Pls post pix thx.

Well done, how do one join d sides of the clutch? Thanks

Hello everyone, I just came across this thread and I want to be so in. Well done tutor

Strongbest: 10 WONDERFUL HOME USES FOR SODIUM BICARBONATE (BAKING SODA)

First, before we go on, let me quickly give a brief explanation of what sodium bicarbonate is. I know the name doesn't sound like something common or something we are familiar with and some people may even be thinking it's not something within our reach but I tell you, that is not true.

Ok, Sodium bicarbonate also known as or commonly known as baking soda is obtained/derived from a naturally occurring mineral called trona.

Sodium bicarbonate has its chemical formula as NaHCO3. Which simply means, it contains: sodium, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is said to be hundred Percent (100 0/0) pure, safe and natural. Sorry, this is not some sort of chemistry class, just trying to give us an idea of what sodium bicarbonate is.

How and where can we get sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)?

You can get sodium bicarbonate from almost anywhere in a chemical stores and very cheap.

USES
1. To eliminate odor from room (especially when water is mistakenly poured on your rug or carpet):

Just sprinkle some sodium bicarbonate on the rug and allow to sit for sometimes/hours, then sweep away later.

To keep your room or anywhere in the house smelling natural, just sprinkle around.
Sodium bicarbonate absorbs odours and help to keep things smelling fresh.

2. To eliminate bad smell or odors from shoes.
I know this would be very helpful to guys that use shoes. You know how it feels when you visit someone or when you get home and have to pull your shoes after a long day. Ouch! That awful smell that oozes from your shoes.

To keep your shoes smelling fresh, get 2 pieces of clothe (unused or old clothes), pour some sodium bicarbonate, let's say 3-4 spoonfuls in each, tie and stuck them into the shoes and leave for sometime. You can also use your old stocks for this. Do this every time, the sodium bicarbonate will absorb the bad smell from the shoes and keep them fresh. I don't mean to brag here, but I can proudly tell you that my shoes don't smell bad, no matter how long I wear them. Hehehe.

3. Keep bad odour from your fridge
You know sometimes, the fridge can smell really bad when light goes off for a while, especially if you usually keep things like meat and other fresh things in your fridge. One good way to stop your fridge from smelling bad in this case is by using sodium bicarbonate.
Just get a very big cup, could be plastic cup. Put in some sodium bicarbonate and leave it there in the fridge. You may use 2-3 cups for this, depending on the size of the cup and your fridge. This works great.


4. For cleansing purpose.
Ok, if you don't want scratches on your sweet looking ties or marbles, always use bicarbonate to clean them.
Simply sprinkle some sodium bicarbonate on the ties, use a mild damp rag to mob it off. It leaves your ties clean and shiny.


5. To clean burnt pot.
You know that akward time when your food got badly burnt underneath, maybe because you slept off or your attention was carried away by something. This happened to me a lot, back then in school. Apart from realizing you've just burnt your last beans, another night mare is how to clean up the pot. In this case, just pour some sodium bicarbonate and soak with hot water, leave for some hours. The black stain will easily and amazingly come off from the pot.


6. To remove grease stain.
If you ever have to remove grease stain from any item, don't struggle much, just sprinkle sodium bicarbonate over the stain and rinse or wash off easily.


7. As deodorant or to neutralise body odour.
If you have body odor, please try this. It works great. Just sprinkle sodium bicarbonate under your arms. If you also sweat a lot, maybe under your arms, do try this and you'll thank me later. Sodium bicarbonate absorbs sweat and leave you feeling fresh all day. In case you have a very strong body odor, I can help you with a stronger formula.


8. To relieve pain or treat insect bites.
If you ever get bitten by insects, just make a sodium bicarbonate paste (like your calamine loton) and apply to the bitten area.
This is also very helpful in curing itching body. If your body itches you, just try this and you'll be relieved soon.

9. To cure dandruff.
Dandruff can be completely cured with the help of sodium bicarbonate. For ladies, this can be very helpful to you. Get your hair wet with water, apply a handful amount of sodium bicarbonate down to your scap. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water, after sometime. You may stop using hair shampoo for a while and concentrate on this.


10.Lastly, for mothers in the house, you can clean your babies' diapers (and other diapers) with sodium bicarbonate. Disolve sodium bicarbonate in water and soak the diapers in them.


Other uses for bicarbonate( medical uses).
Research has shown that sodium bicarbonate can be used in treating or curing sickneses like: cancer, flu, diabete, heartburn, kidney diseases and many more.
I can't give the dossage for use in this case because I'm not a doctor. Doctors in the house could help throw more light to this.
Sodium bicarbonate is also used in cooking and in baking.

The post is getting too long, I should just stop here.
You can ask me any question on the use of sodium bicarbonate(with the exception of oral administration of it). Thanks.

Well done and thanks for shairing this, I will definitely try it for my dandruff.
