Kevin O’Grady Glass Art

April 15, 2009 by lori greenberg

Kevin O'Grady Glass Art

If you have not experienced the glass art of Kevin O’Grady, you are missing out.  But, don’t fret because his work is in galleries around the world.  It sounds so corny to say, “these pictures do not do the work justice” but it is so true.  I’ve seen his bracelets up close and personal while at the Tucson Gem Show and holy cow.  If I owned one I’d be gazing into it continually. They’re hypnotizing.

Not only does Kevin create beautiful jewelry but upon reading further on his site I see that he makes limited edition beads when he does shows. You can bet that he’s added to my ‘must collect’ list now and I’ll be hunting him down seeking him out at Bead & Button in June.

Crochet Tips And Tricks – E-book by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts

If you’ve been crocheting for a while, you probably think you’ve picked up most of the tricks already. That’s what I thought too—until I dove into Nicki’s Homemade Crafts Crochet Tips & Tricks E-book. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.

This isn’t your average “how to hold a hook” beginner guide. It’s packed with actually useful, hands-on advice that even seasoned crocheters will appreciate. I found myself nodding along with so many of the pages, thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?”

One thing I really liked? It’s written in a super down-to-earth tone, like a fellow crocheter just sharing what works. No fluff, no overly technical jargon. Just smart, practical solutions to common crochet problems. From fixing tension issues to dealing with split yarn, the tips are straightforward and easy to apply.

Another standout? The layout is clean, with step-by-step instructions and lots of visual cues that make it easy to follow. You can flip to a section you need or read it front to back—it works either way. And it’s digital, so it lives on my tablet now for quick reference whenever I need a refresher.

But what really makes this e-book feel like a gem is the “aha” moments scattered throughout. Things like invisible joins that actually look invisible, tips to stop your yarn from tangling (IYKYK), and clever ways to weave in ends without the bulky bump. Even after years of crocheting, I walked away with new techniques that made my projects look cleaner and more polished.

I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who crochets regularly—especially if you’re tired of wasting time Googling scattered tutorials and just want everything in one place.
