Niece, Lacey, has gotten into making some lovely necklaces out of jewelry wire and stones. So while I was in Wichita in October I picked up some tumbled rocks at a flea market and some non-tumbled rocks at the Great Plains Nature Center.

When the family got together for Thanksgiving, she tried to teach us how to make a few things.

We had a great time!! I can see that I'll have to work on this a little more to get the hang of wrapping it securely and simply. Took me too many wraps to make it stay. Lacey's have a very elegant simplicity to them. She said it took her several tries to get that hang of it, too.

| Meleah also used some Fool's Gold from GPNC & she added a little charm |
We also quickly found out that the tumbled stones were way to slick for us rookies. That'll take a little practice. So we went to the stones from the nature center.

Thanks, Lacey!! Can't wait to play with this some more when I get to AZ. Want to do some key rings, too.
