Two Random Questions

[lesliepear]

I think people on my friend's list might know the answers to these.

1. I've seen the "Barbie" laptop as a play computer for girls. Is there any type of similar educational laptop for baby boys? I thought Alan could mess with that rather than playing with the mouse on my PC.


2. I know a few of you do beading. How hard would it be to make a chocker necklace with beads on CORD not wire? I'm thinking of getting a colorful chocker to hide my thyroid removal scar as it heals (I figured wire might dig in). Any help you can come up with would be appreciated.

you could use memory wire for a single strand type choker. fits everyone, the wire is entirely inside the beads, pearls, whatever you are using, so it doesn't contact your skin at all. it's similar to the way those sun shade things for your car work - you know how you fold them up to put them away and they spring open to go inside your windshield? memory wire coils up to be about the size of a bracelet, but opens up to go around your neck. it's not tight. I'll see if I can get Ben to take a picture of me with Amy's that I made for her. If you were wanting to have beads on a corded or knotted silk, you'd need to use fairly large beads, or have a couple of strands - I can show you that one, too. Just gotta get some decent light and make the boy cooperate with me.
