Hooked on beads since childhood
after receiving a bead loom as a gift
from my sister (forever grateful to Maureen!).
Easily
distracted by shiny things. Sometimes think my passion is
shopping for beads and supplies more than using them!
Peyote stitch is
my current favorite stitch, but the right angle weave is a fun one too,
then there is the herringbone stitch, ... hmm.
I grew up Rochester, NY and lived
in Colorado for 20+ Years. I worked
as a software design engineer for HP for 12 years before becoming a
stay at home beader & mom to two boys. Moved back to the
Rochester area in
2003 and found Studio 34 Beads while searching for supplies and a local group
of beaders.
Hooked on internet bead related
information and shopping. I put
together a web page of
beading related links to guide me.

I am an instructor at Studio 34 Beads, Bead Breakout, and small local groups.
In 2007 I became co-owner of Blueberry Moon Beads, LLC. 2009: My photo published in Capture Rochester 09:
Colorado
is a wonderful place for a beader to live. I’ve been
very fortunate to be able to take a variety of bead classes over the
years from some very inspiring and accomplished women listed below...
