January already?? I have no idea how that happened. Lots of things have been going on in my life lately. Some big changes are right on the horizon. I’ve been working at Threade Bear for the last four years. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’ve learned so much, and found myself traveling in whole new directions. The owner has decided to retire and Threade Bear will be closed as of February 28. Until then I’ll be putting in a bit more time while we work through the closing sale and get things wrapped up.

What does that mean for you and why should you care? Well, if you are hoping to find more beads and jewelry made by me, it means a lot. I’ll have more time to devote to beads and jewelry. The part of my life I enjoy so much, but it seems to suffer when “life happens.“ You’ll be seeing more focals and sets available here, on eBay and on JustBeads. The finished jewelry sections of this website have been a bit neglected lately and they will be filling up also. You’ll be seeing more of the styles you’ve seen before and I’ve got several new things in the works. I’m very excited about the changes and being able to devote more time at the torch, and also more time to play making finished jewelry. The more things I try the more I can’t wait to try!
