Where does the time go!!! I have been pulling murrini for many years and have never really show it publicly. They are still in cane form. I will be slicing and polishing probably for day and take them to sell at the ISGB Gathering in Seattle in 2012. I am very excited to show what I have done for many years.
Thank you for stopping by.

On May 24th I went to Albuquerque to do the Fiber Art Festival and to spend a few day with my mama. Came home on May 31st only to return to Albuquerque on June 2nd because my mama had taken a turn for the worst! Stayed with her 24/7 for 8 days then on the 10 came home to rest. Returned to Albuquerque on June 13th! Along with other sibling we cared for my mama till she passed on June 17th.
Thank you for all your well wishes and for those of you who have been very patient in the delay in me filling your orders.

I am one of the Freatured Instructors on
CraftEdu.com I have two tutorials, one on Making a Hand and the other on Clear Encasing Floral. Have other ideas but need the time to take pics.
At the bottom of this page is a pic of one of the new Sugar Bead! This color is hard to discribe but has been popular at my latest shows. Sold out of them in Tucson.

Not quite what I was hoping for on the pics. But felt I need to get the Sugar Bead Catalog updated. Still need to work on getting the hands and hollows updated. Getting close to midnight. Good night!

I took pics of the new colors of sugar beads today. Will be working on croping and uploading them to my catalog. These colors sold out in Tucson and sold lots of them at Bead Fest Santa Fe. It is worse than pulling a tooth, becuse I would rather be making the beads than working on the computer.

This is the last day of February. Where does the time go!!!! At the beginning on February I went to The Best Bead Show in Tucson. Because of bad weather many flights were canceled so there were lots of people who could not make it in to Tucson. For me it was a good show, up from last year. Woo Hoo the sugar beads were the best sellers.
