New Design!!!
I've been working on this since early fall and finally got it finished. It's such a fun card case! It is different from any of my others as it is a horizontal design. The flap comes over and matches to the fontside with a cute orange melon button!


This was inspired by a friend of mine, as I was designing it she was on my mind a lot and it turns out the single dragonfly on the back is very much matches the silhouette of her logo! Then I let my mind go!

PATTERN ONLY      $12.00  
COMPLETE KIT       $52.00  
DELICA ONLY KIT   $50.00  


Plan Early!
It's time to treat yourself to something different. And it's not just for beaders, "It's more than a bead retreat . . . it's a vacation!"

With so many other activities for the non-beader, this is the perfect event for couples and families to go do the things they love and spend time together. We're planning plenty of other side-trips for the non-beaders so the beaders can focus on their passion for beading! Plus the extra days allows for excursions together.

*NOTE: This is not a wheelchair accessible resort due to the rustic nature of the area and
when it was built. There are some stairs to all the rooms and classrooms.

New Book!!!
12 Days of Christmas
Ornaments
These were a lot of fun to make and a perfect way to celebrate the Christmas holiday.

The ornaments are both beautiful and functional. They can be opened and small gifts, messages, or prayers can be put inside. Each is adorned with a charm representing the day.

I've also included the generally accepted meaning of each day as thought of by the Catholic Church. There is an ongoing debate as to the reason for the creation of the song which I found interesting to research. This is NOT a beginners book, you should know how to do the Peyote Stitch before you try these.

COMPLETE KIT WITH BOOK          $155

Designs from the heart...
Vol. 1 Book!
BOOK $24.95  

Thanks for all your patience and support. This is the largest pattern book yet! Fabulous designs, two that are purse size (small evening bag size) but still, they are wonderful.

Private Teaching...
As I travel cross country, if I'm passing through or fairly close to your town I offer private classes. Minimum students 4 and I need a place to park my RV, and 110v power for free, in front of your house works just fine! I don't charge for my travel or stay, since I was coming through anyway. Contact me in advance to find out if I'll be anywhere by you, or look at my schedule and you can sort of figure out where I'll be and around what dates. Click here to see what classes are available and the prices.

Great Cause...
I was down in Springfield, OH visiting a friend of mine and found her working on a great cause helping our Military Working Dogs in Iraq.

Cloud Dancer modeling the
Doggles and RPCM® ChillyDog Cool Vest.

These dogs do so much for our soliders but because of the extreme temperatures and the conditions, they can only work in short shifts. These dogs and their handlers are the first line of defense, usually the first into building searches and helping with vehicles searches. The dogs can detect something as small as a tripwires and trace explosive materials protecting our soldiers from IEDs. Visit SupportMilitaryWorkingDogs.org to read more about how it all got started and how you can help.
