HELLO

*** BEAD STASH ***

Here it is! Most of my bead stash:)

I have been collecting all my life.

When I was teeny tiny, not sure how old, my mom bought a bag of assorted beads for me at the local craft store. 

I spent all afternoon inspecting and organizing them by shape and color.

A few hers later, when I was old enough to use a needle and thread she gave me all of her hippy beads. She taught me how to make daisy chains and how to use wire to weave a band that could be worn as a ring.

The love of making things with beads has stayed with me. Of course beading does have to coexist with painting, bookmaking, sewing, glueing, knitting and crocheting. They all seem to get along quite well:)
