Lori, I love what you did with my idea for your creativity challenge and I'm so glad you've got it in an auction to benefit a charity! http://www.justbeads.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=798021007 Barbara

OK - really - all the closets got cleaned when I moved. I now have tons of stuff to put away - and some of it... well, I just need to part with. I am leaving town tomorrow so there are only four postings. But I will add more next week. but I'm giving you guys

I really love the colors in this set. They were on their way out to the bead store until I started playing around with them. Now they are up for auction. http://snipurl.com/cmn8 I also took better photos of my lentils up for auction. At least you can see more details this time...

Happy Spring! From coins to spiral pendants, Mazed discs, lentils and funky seventies print pendants, April brings us a variety of new beads! There are beads for every taste and in every color and shape. Check out the new...

I have had several offers of beads and things for the Girls Child centre in Kenya. Since it would not be until next March time when I go or in case I have to send them via JB, I said the cheapest rate would be via surface mail. I have been asked what postage costs maybe but since you have more...

Taking a break from goddesses and water bearers. This is something a bit different, kinda primative in flavor but someone told me yesterday that it reminded them of Egar Alan Poe. More hand painting with...

I'm talking about my good friend, Emma Green of BeadEnvy. She's famed for her puffins, at least among a number of people who have been lucky enough to buy one, and one of her little guys is the featured birdy bead in our British Lampwork ads. I adore her work, and own a wonderful selection of...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend! Had a good, but busy one here. I'm really running behind today, but I wanted to pop in and let you know I listed several new bead auctions last night. Hope you'll go take a peek! Here's my everything...

Just thought I'd let you know about the summer Hot Glass classes at Red Deer College: Upcoming bead-making classes with Lauri Copeland, the fabulous Suzanne Eaton, and I'll be teaching twice - one is a 5 day Intro Beadmaking Class, the other is 3 days of beads, 2 days of jewelry-making. The college...

Shirley reporting in. I am back from Bulgaria, feeling shattered with flights delay and no sleep for 26 hours. I will report when I have got myself sorted. Need to replenish the groceries. Shirley -- Shirley Shone

Or to be more precise: No longer the Mama of a child. She's all grown up, and I'm redundant, at best - like an extra toe or something Amanda's trip for Spain began this morning. She packed all her things, wrote up a packing list to make sure that she doesn't leave anything behind...

Oh, I am one lucky girl tonight! A special package arrived in the mail. A gorgeous lampwork tab bead, with swirls of brown and grey and sparkles. DH says it looks like Jupiter and he's an astronomer so I guess he knows. G Thank you, Jerri, from the bottom of my heart. Cheri - all ferklempt...

visiting my parents.....it's always a crap shoot as to whether we have fun there or not, so we'll see. I'm taking my bead box (It's not all that big...in fact it's just one of those big plastic storage drawers...lol.), so I'll have stuff to do. My mom has a bum leg right now, so that leaves out...

Has anyone ever had SoftFlex stretch? I thought it wasn't supposed to do that (per the gals at my local bead store), but a friend made me a beaded badge holder to wear at work, and over time gaps have started to appear between the beads. She actually restrung them once, but it's doing it...
