One advantage to using Delicious would be that it is easily accessible from the CPL homepage (helpful to point out to customers); and another, that the content can be updated quickly.
On the other hand, it appears to be more a method of showing what sites are popular, rather than pointing one directly to a web page for information in a hurry. I'm not yet convinced that there is any good reason to "join" Delicious in favor of using search engines to find information on the Web.
Back to beading:
Here is an easy bracelet you can make that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but looks good on your arm (if not your leg). All you need are safety pins - I used about 75 one-inch pins - and plenty of seed beads that are just large enough to slide onto the pins. You can either slide the beads on in a specific pattern or use random splashes of color as I did. So, slide beads on all the pins and close them. Then thread the pins top and bottom with any kind of elastic cord. I use a brand called Stretch Magic in either the .5 mm or 1 mm size. Once you have enough beaded pins to make a bracelet, tie each piece of the cord securely and dot with glue to prevent it from unravelling. Voila! You have a beautiful bracelet. You want it to fit snugly around your wrist but not too tight, so experiment until you have a comfortable fit. And remember that beading shouldn't cost a lot. You can find safety pins at any dollar store and beads at several different shops in Calgary. Many of the bead stores sell their leftover mixed beads for about a dollar per vial, which is an excellent way to start collecting beads for your projects. Happy beading!
