Personal
I live in the Southwest with my hubby, dog, and birds. My first exposure to beading was almost 30 years ago when I purchased some thread and acrylic beads. Life got way too busy and the beads went into storage. Through a friend, my love for beading was renewed and out came all the supplies! Now I’m a certified beading ‘addict’ and you can’t imagine the supplies I now have! Hubby jokes about “the house foundation cracking because of the weight of all those stones!” I love to bead and especially love working with gemstones and deco Czech glass. I also enjoy creating a variety of styles and designs.
I am so happy to have found Lima Beads and all their great products, and all of you wonderful beaders out there! Thanks for all the inspiration you have given me!

Romeo, Romeo–he’s stolen your heart! With a little coaxing, he’ll be eating out of your hand soon. He looks like a sweetie for sure. He’s wandered onto the best street in town because he has landed at the doorstep of the biggest heart around. Before long, you two will be inseparable. Your pendant is filled with [...]
