Home for the Summer!!!
Yeaaah, just got back, it's going to take me a few days to get all my inventory moved back to where I can get to it and fill orders that have come in during the last week. I've been driiiiivvvvving for daaaays to get home from Milwaukee!

It's a stunning green out here and the Teton Mountains still have a lovely cap of snow. I guess I missed the rain from what my friends have said here, it's been sunny the last two days.

I don't go on the road again until September so check out my schedule and if you're anywhere near where I'll be travelling I do private teaching, call or e-mail to ask about the details. Check out my Show Schedule to see where I'll be. Lots of great classes available, to see what I'll be teaching click here.

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.

New Designs!!!
I've had a great time working on these two new designs. Some of you have seen them in progress at the shows. Now they are complete with all the fringing and necklaces. Enjoy!

Corgi Caper

She has also given me a priceless gift of her daughter Cricket who is full of bounce just like her name!

COMPLETE KIT       $54.00  
DELICA ONLY KIT   $57.50  

 

 
Mystery Horse
Size:  110 Across by 162 Down

Inspired by a wonderful photograph that I have in my studio. This horse is a study of light and dark.

The backside design is a herd of horses on the run in a subtle sparkle of black on black.

COMPLETE KIT       $52.00  
DELICA ONLY KIT   $42.50  


Going, going, almost gone!
The Travelling Bead Board...
It's happened again, the manufacturer we were going through has gotten to big to deal with us small potatoes, I only have a few left get them while you can.

The tray is great as a working board AND for travelling with. It hold's up to 36 colors! The lid is a smooth piece of laminate that I just rubber band on. You can also make velcro straps for it fairly easy if you wanted a more permanent solution.

Travelling Bead Board  -  $25
