    Can I just say how much I love those wire guards/horseshoes/bead thimbles? Srs, one of the best inventions for jewelry-making ever! All it takes is ONE piece to snap two days after finishing it to make you understand how valuable those little suckers are! 🙂

    Congrats to Mary and Lyn – they left very useful comments.
    Gluing a couple bead thimbles to my laptop for luck now. Remember to glue them with the open end up so the luck doesn’t fall out. 🙂

    I just discovered these little horse shoe thingies. I need them very much! The protection they provide will be amazing for the beading strings I use so much of. Thanks for the heads up on these!
