About me

Industry Arts
Occupation full time Mom, bead artist & retired bookkeeper
Location Oakhurst, Ca, United States
Introduction I am a 41 year old mother of two handsome sons -ages 11 and 16, a vegetarian and I am a crafter/artist. I was first introduced to bead embroidery by my good friend and teacher, Arline last year. I have been hooked ever since and cannot get enough. I have made some very special friendships at our local bead shop and have had the good fortune to experience art on a new level. I have fibromyalgia and some other health challenges and have received so much loving support and understanding from my fellow beaders and it seems they were sent into my life to help me through this difficult period. I am so blessed to know them. This is my first attempt at blogging so bear with! A lot of my pictures are taken with a camera built into my computer so they are a little blurry! I love to meet other beaders and look at their artwork - so please leave a comment if you have a blog so we can share this awesome hobby!
