New Show ADDED!
Bead Faire... July 10-12 ... Portland, OR
Oregon Cenvention Center - Exhibition Hall "E"
It's been a while since I've done a show in Portland, so come on in and see all the great new designs in person! Classes at the booth, first come first serve, so come by early to reserve your time and then shop! Then you can come back to rest your feet and learn something new!
Look for the bright green drapes...That's me!

Check out my Schedule so you don't miss out on my fall travels around the country.

Bead Blog...
And now for something completely new...my Bead Blog! Okay, I am a rank beginner so forgive me for any blunders and bumbling around. I know many of you have been blogging since day one and have been asking me to join in. So here goes. I'm not guarnateeing answering everyday, but when I can I will. View the Bead Blog.


 
Just Bead'n Around
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. Check out the last two designs, Petroglyph and Sunshine and Dog Gone Crazy.

NEW Designs!!!
These are the last two designs in the book Just Bead'n Around, Vol. 1, click here to view them all. They were a lot of fun to design and bead. I hope you'll enjoy them just as much as I have.

Petroglyph & Sunshine

102 Across by          
164 Down         

2-5/8" Across by 5-1/4" Deep w/o Fringe

 These two characters are the proud companions of my friend Valerie in Tucson Arizona.
They always help her with her sewing, quilting and beading projects!

PATTERN ONLY      $12.00  
COMPLETE KIT       $63.00  
DELICA ONLY KIT   $65.00  

Dog Gone Crazy
Limited Edition Kit
194 Across by 190 Down
Finished Size of Purse 5" Across by 3-3/4" Deep
not including Flap or Fringe

This wildly vibrant design is very special to me since it represents my four footed companions. Cloe, Cloud, Piper and Cricket are my kids and they keep me both sane and insane.

They travel with me around the country to shows and teaching. The watch over me and the RV, and they make me get out and get my exercise.

And yes, I do walk all four at the same time! It's taken time
and patience but if
you're going to have
multiple dogs, you HAVE to train them, otherwise I'd be run over getting in and out of the RV, and going for a drag, not a walk!

The fringe is flamboyant with the bright colors and special beads I found. This is a good third of the cost for the kit. Not to mention the number of delicas it takes to make a piece this large! So it's a limited edition kit and when the supply is gone, it will only be available as a pattern or delica only kit.

PATTERN ONLY       $12.00  
COMPLETE KIT        $94.00  
DELICA ONLY KIT    $75.00  

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.

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.
