Spring is just around the corner... our winter here in north central Pa. was not very snowy or very cold but i am looking forward to my new garden and getting back outside...My 1st show will be in March, at the york Expo center also known as the York Fairgounds for those of you who are local...., Beadfest-spring in April, May will being the Hillard festival and then Beadfest in August.
As most of you know my main business is making and selling glass beads..... but my spinning "hobby" has been expanding and I have begun to sell more yarn...they have always sold well at shows but it is time to add them here. .
I am busy in the glass studio as well but will lag behind in listing new beads... it is awlays beast to find me at shows... I have my own full 10 x 10 booth at the beadfest shows and will be selling Frit and yarn as always...
The Regional Director position has been great so far... it has been a challenge to learn all of the new things but it feel good to see a change happening...
I continue to do what I can to support Bead of Courage and i am very excited to have 11 beads making the journey north this year in the Iditarod Dog sled race in Alaska... WOW!!! how cool is that??...
2011 was an exciting year for me... I had 2 different beads take a trip into space... YES, SPACE!... one was on STS-132 and the other was STS-134.... I am one of 3 artists in the world to have this honor... check out Beads of Courage (.org) for more details.
One of my beads was juried into a ISGB "Surface" show and I just found out that The Flow magazine "Women in Glass" issue selected me as one of the featured artists for a second year in a row...
