Hi All!

Welcome to my new blog about beading or anything else that may be on my mind. I am trying to move into what has become the new mainstream of networking, socializing and the like. I was going to create a newsletter type thing but then remembered that I had this blog thing that I may as well try to use.

I have been busy working on new bead stitching designs and have come to the conclusion that there are just not enough hours in the day to be able to create everything that is in my head. But I sure do try. Actually, that's not true. Of late, I have been doing more thinking than trying or doing. I am trying to decide the direction I want to take with my work and for some reason the decision is much more difficult than I ever imagined. I do have a new design which I have decided to sell. As much as I would like to do this as a kit, I know that that work involved in crazy and will take me away from the design work I like best. I suppose I could hire someone to put the kits together but that is just one more layer I don't want to think about today.

Here is a picture of my new design called, "It's a Pendant."

The instructions are easy to follow according to the three people who were kind enough to test them out. Thanks Kat, Marlene and Cissy. You guys are the best.
