What an exciting new year!

Last year was a hard one physically for me. All is better and can only get better. I have several new bead shows in Texas this year. Boy have I been cranking out the beads! I was elected Treasurer/ Blogger for the Grapevine Beadmakers' Society and I have a very inspiring part time job as bookkeeper for Wubbers. Any jewelry maker or wire wrapper is familiar with that name. They are really just the best jewelry and wire working tools around. They are based in Southlake Texas at Wired Up Beads. Working with both Patti Bullard and Trudy Jauquet is truly motivating. I always make sure to make their open studio day on Wednesday afternoon. Patti is the most creative person I have ever met and is so generous with her knowledge. I have been making loads of sterling cored, Pandora style beads lately. I love the look and the larger ones make really nice pendants. Yes, my beads are still very organic. I'll post some new pics soon.
