Learning New Stuff



I am really feeling like I want to add something really fun yet meaningful to my line. So I have designed these bracelets which are designed to add personalized charms to it. I am in the process of designing the charms for these...you will have to stay tuned to see them! I will be firing the first batch Monday, so I will get them posted soon!


I also went to Bead Expo and met so many wonderful people - Hello All! Thank you for a great time and for your generosity. I am loving everything I learned and will be adding some new things to Etsy...Glass clay beads and - I have been working toward this for a long time - Recycled Glass that will really be so beautiful! I love the idea of recycled glass and have been moving in this direction for a while now. I think it is definitely time to take responsibility for what we are doing to this earth. I am trying to do my part and add some beauty to what might otherwise be ugly waste. I have some great surprises in store...Pickle Jar Beads, Veedub vases, Plate Glass Dishware. Big Dreams, I know. Lots to do!


Sewing seems to be strong in my future as well. Still teaching some great classes at JoAnn's and meeting some really amazing people there. This is such a great skill to have and has opened many doors for me. I will teaching at the Parks and Rec starting this fall so come and join us if you can. Lots of class choices! Sewing, cooking....which is really funny for those who know me. I don't really have time to cook or sew these days, so it is interesting that these are the things they needed me to teach. I am looking forward to it! I think the lesson is that the skills we gain in life can really open doors that may otherwise remain closed to us so get out there and learn as much as you can!
