Hi group,
I know I haven't posted in ages. I haven't had much of a chance to do some beading, although my "little sister" and I are back to beading right now. I'm a youth mentor with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, so we spend an hour a week doing crafts. It's hard to believe there are only five more visits before she graduates!
I opened a shop on a website called ArtFire, which is similar to Etsy, but without as many fees. I made a little YouTube video of one of my workspaces to post on their forum and someone posted a picture of her bead stash. Mine really pales in comparison!
The link to everything is here:

Please don't make fun of my Canadian accent :-) Right now I'm cleaning the downstairs work area and feeling a little crazy! My husband likes that I'm trying to get organized though - it is a maze of tippy piles! My "little sister" and I also went to the local bead show. Wow! She loved it. She had never been to something like that before and we talked to artists and saw lots of jewellery, gems and lampwork. Whew! The show was earlier than last year and the timing didn't work for my crafty girlfriends, so I was happy I could share the experience :-)
Best, Christine
