Beading Bee's?

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "C. Gregory" :

]a beading bee?

some ladies from my old congregation and i used to do this. [well, to be accurate, it was a "bring what you r're working on" type thing, but a couple of us were beading] it was an AMAZING amount of fun, and the creativity just went wild.

Beading Bees are fun, but I usually have to do something repetitive. Otherwise I get too distracted. I have a neighbor who arranged 2 hours of beading at the library, which I haven't been to for a while. And the place I took some classes has an "open studio" 2 days a week. I often do bead crochet in busy places. This allows me to soak up new ideas without messing up my project.

You've all heard about quilting bee's right? where a bunch of quilters get together and just hang out and quilt together, well, why not a beading bee?>

basically - that's what happens every Wed night locally - all the beaders get together - bead, chat, eat the treat of the week.... LOL I guess that's a "beader's bee" - they just call it a bead group... specifically .. the Naughty Beaders group... ROTFL Cheryl of DRAGON BEADS Flameworked beads and glass

Back in the Dawn of Time when I was using AOL, a bunch of the east coast beaders got together and had a Bead Bash. I went a couple times and it was a riot. We showed off, we traded, we wheeled and dealed and got totally silly. Great fun and I highly recommend it.

Not so silly. In my neck of the woods there's monthly meets called "Beaders' Night Out".
