While we were up visiting my DH mom, she was loading me up with all kinds of goodies. One was a shopping bag full of beads and things of that sort. Now, I have a whole bag full and not a clue what to do with it. Would anyone like to point me in a good direction, please? They are mostly "stonish" beads like turqoise sorts.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!

How big are the beads? Are they seed beads? If yes, you can sew them onto interfacing and make beautiful Native American applique. It's a lot of work, but it almost always turns out georgeous!
If they are bigger beads, like pony beads, you can make several strings together and then buy a silver pendant (Silpada has several). You'd have to visit a beading store for the clasps and string (you definitely want bead-store string). Beading like this is very easy and very quick.

That's true, Jamie. I was thinking maybe that was the route I would go. Other than stringing them up, I'm not too creative when it comes to that sort of things.
Weird--I just now saw your post. :(

If they are larger you can make jewelry with it. I am not a pro at it but you can find tons of info online about making necklaces and such.
