Hello Everyone! This has been a doozy of a month. I completed my piece for the TOHO Beads Challenge. (It’s pretty fabulous, if I do say so myself, but I can’t show it off until next month.) I taught 2 big classes, and I participated in the Stutz Artists Association Annual Open House, which […]
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Indiana Button Society’s annual Button Show with my friend, Carol. Having been to many bead shows that incorporated some button dealers, I thought I knew what I was getting into, but the whole button show experience was totally new. We paid our admission and were given […]
A while back, the lovely Karen Williams invited me to a “support group” for all those un-finished objects that all beaders have. I hopped right on board. I have an entire set of drawers full of UFOs! One of the perils of being a full time beader and designer. Inspired by the rest of the […]
Every January, the Indiana Bead Society spends the monthly meeting working on squares for the Bead It Forward project. Beaders all over the world make little 1.5″ by 1.5″ beaded squares which are then assembled into quilts and other items, then auctioned off to raise money for breast cancer research.

In celebration of nearly finishing my Bead and Button Show applications to teach next year, I am posting my first tutorial. These Super Speedy Starburst Earrings are really fun. You can whip out a pair in about a half an hour. Perfect for gifts, or if you don’t have the right earrings for your new […]
Is anyone still there besides spammers selling knock off purses and sunglasses? Just in case, I thought I would fill you in on the latest bead news. I just returned from a trip to Cleveland to shoot an episode of Beads, Baubles, and Jewels. It was a great experience. Everyone on the staff was kind […]
Many beady things have happened since I have last posted… Bead and Button, Sievers, teaching at Bead Fest, and a workshop with Kim Stathis. Many crazy non beady things have happened too. Needless to say, it’s been a very busy summer. Technically the Bead and Button Show happened before my last post, but let’s start […]
Hello Everyone, Please excuse my long absence. Life got a little nutty there for a while. It’s still a little nutty, but mostly manageable. In the mean time, I have been busy behind the scenes beading away. I was thrilled to be picked for Karen Williams Fancy Fish Design Team. I got to test out […]
