I think the worst "accident" that ever happened to me when I bead loomed a dress for my Supersize Christie. I had one side loomed when I pulled a wrong thread and lost one edge row. I pulled my hair as well!<br />So I loomed it again and this time my dear black cat Ponder tore it off the loom when I didn't look for a second. I had to do it a third time.<br />So this was nothing in comparison!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388775133312472929noreply@blogger.com
