Complete beginner....

[Paulac]

....so be gentle with me. :)

My name is Paula and at the moment I am just getting a feel for beading. I also enjoy knitting and sewing.

Any tips on where to find materials for beading would be greatly appreciated, or any general advice on beading would also be welcomed.

Thanks
