Are you still hopping like a little bunny and seeing the Bead Soup goodness like I am? My reveal is next week and I'm seriously intimidated by all the amazing work out there. Hopefully my creati...

And Happy Easter, too! Yesterday was the first reveal of the Bead Soup Blog Party and I have to admit I have a bit of a soup hangover! I'm about halfway through the list, and slowly working my...

Just popping in really quick because I realized I never posted a picture of my full bead soup the other day when I received it . I blame it on age and being frantically busy the past couple of ...
Remember the teaser photos I showed you? Well, it's finally time to see what I sent Diane , my Bead Soup partner! I gave her two focals and two clasps. Who doesn't like options? The...

I know you're just dying to know what else I bought in Tucson, right? This is just a selection of the clasps I bought. I like to stock up on sterling during the shows because everything is...

I spent six full days in Tucson for the gem/bead shows. I was sneaky and took a few pictures and posted them in my previous blog post and on Facebook. Well, I didn't mention that I bought a ton...

If you are a fellow jewelry designer, you know about Tucson . Since I live in Phoenix, I go for a few days every year. I even take time off work. It's a great opportunity for me to stock up on fi...
The reason I started this blog way back when was so that I could join the Bead Soup Blog Party that Lori does every year. I've participated twice and had a blast. The first time, I was pair...

Wait...HOW long has it been since I blogged? About a week after my last post, I started a new job which kicked, and is still actively kicking my ass. It's been a tremendous learning experience ...
If you're still Bead Soup hopping, click here for my creation! Oh, hi! I could claim that I'm nursing a Bead Soup hangover, and that's why haven't blogged, but it wouldn't be true. The tr...

It's taken me the whole day to write this post, and I'm no further than I was earlier this morning. I am going to just post the video instead. Ten years ago, I was driving home from work, still ...
This picture is a bit dated, actually. I took is a few months ago when the oranges were growing like crazy around here. This is actually at my aunt and uncle's house, taken probably back in Febru...
I love Lima Beads . I love getting jewelry magazines because I can find so many new suppliers that way. The ads in Stringing, Bead Style, etc. are just as interesting to me as the jewelry. I foun...
