Beading Bee's?

ok, silly idea just came to me, but then maybe not so silly.

You've all heard about quilting bee's right? where a bunch of quilters get
together and just hang out and quilt together, well, why not a beading bee?
i know that if i get beading without anyone around, i start falling asleep
(Beading relaxes me, what can i say. i think the fact that i have sleep
apnea doesnt help either lol) but when my room mate and i bead together its
just a lot of fun. also we swap beads if we need other colors from each
other and generally help and encourage one another anyone else think this is
a good idea??

Beading Bees are fun, but I usually have to do something repetitive.
Otherwise I get too distracted. I have a neighbor who arranged 2 hours of
beading at the library, which I haven't been to for a while. And the place
I took some classes has an "open studio" 2 days a week. I often do bead
crochet in busy places. This allows me to soak up new ideas without messing
up my project.

basically - that's what happens every Wed night locally - all the beaders get
together - bead, chat, eat the treat of the week....
LOL
I guess that's a "beader's bee" - they just call it a bead group...
specifically ..
the Naughty Beaders group...

You might try checking http://www.meetup.com and see if there's a beading
meetup in your area. Seems like that would be a good venue for this sort of
thing.

Back in the Dawn of Time when I was using AOL, a bunch of the east coast
beaders got together and had a Bead Bash. I went a couple times and it was a
riot. We showed off, we traded, we wheeled and dealed and got totally silly.
Great fun and I highly recommend it.

I go to "beading bees" about once a month -- and as soon as we find a suitable
table for the house, I'm going to start having them here. It's been a plan for
a long time (I've been searching for a table).

when my room mate and i bead together its
just a lot of fun. also we swap beads if we need other colors from each
other and generally help and encourage one another anyone else think this is

And what would you consider a suitable table? I'm interested....

I was going to ask the same thing. Would you Please stop tuning into my
brain waves? She does this all the time folks.
A suitable table would have a rim around it so beady objects wouldnt go
flying off onto the floor, and it would be big enough to give everyone there
enough elbow room, and would have a handy dandy bead chart *courtesy of the
Dr.* laminated into the surface at every place setting.

Wood, round, large enough for bead group and family dinners at Thanksgiving
(insertable leaf is a plus), and high enough that Kevin can get his knees under
it (in wheelchair).
