I'm Finally Home!
It was a looong drive back across the country from Sharonville, OH. Close to 1600 miles! So many things to do and so little time.

I left while there was still snow on the ground and nothing green, and now I can hardly find my patio through the weeds! But the weather is fabulous, in the mid 70s with the nights cool in the 50s. The hot air balloons are flying again around our house ... it's good to be home!

New Designs...
I'm working on the Beads of a Feather book. The Blue Jay feather (approx. 2" wide and 6" long) is finished! (Picture to the left) and I am so happy with it, the picture doesn't show the irridescent black with the rich blue tones of the feather itself. I'm now halfway done with the Eagle feather. The Hawk and the Lovebirds feathers are still to come along with two amulet bags that will be card case size of a Raven and a Blue Heron or Crane. I'll have a pre-release special for the book in about a month, so check back!

ONLY 3
Spaces Left!

Time is flying! We only have three spaces left. It's going to be so much fun since I've reduced the size of the retreat to 10 students. It makes for a much more intimate group. Come out and enjoy the Tetons and the fabulous projects. It's a great deal, don't miss out! We're going to have a blast! We've set it up for RVr's too! We're surrounded by the National Forest and you can go hike or 4-Wheeling out there too!

With so many other activities for the non-beader, this is the perfect event for couples and families to go do the things they love and spend time together. We're planning plenty of other side-trips for the non-beaders so the beaders can focus on their passion for beading! Plan extra days to allow for excursions together!

Feel free to call me if you have questions at 360.271.1410.

New Book!!! 12 Days of Christmas Ornaments These were a lot of fun to make and a perfect way to celebrate the Christmas holiday. The ornaments are both beautiful and functional. They can be opened and small gifts, messages, or prayers can be put inside. Each is adorned with a charm representing the day. I've also included the generally accepted meaning of each day as thought of by the Catholic Church. There is an ongoing debate as to the reason for the creation of the song which I found interesting to research. This is NOT a beginners book, you should know how to do the Peyote Stitch before you try these.

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.
