About Me
- Ellen
- Nerang, Queensland, Australia
- I'm from New Zealand & I now live in the hills behind the beautiful Gold Coast in south eastern Queensland, Australia. I learnt to use a needle & thread at young age, so beading was a natural progression of that. I love to bead & I am a self confessed Bead Addict, for which there is no cure, nor do I want one if it ever becomes available. Recently I have taken up photography & have no idea where this will take me but I'm up for the journey

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
It is to bad that the young women of today rarely know how to even hold a needle or thread one. I know there are some that do. It is sad tho that we do not spend much time teaching our young to do this. I say "we" not as the people here, but "we" in the sense of all people.
Yes I agree totally about the fact that young women would benifit from learning some needle skills - It seems when both parents needed to work to survive, those skills are some of the things that were lost to almost a whole generation. Sad but true, eh?
Thank you for finding this video, Ellen. The needlework is exemplary and rare. Too bad this is nearly a lost art today.
