Road Warrior

American Way magazine hosts a road warrior competition every year or so, and I think they need a bead artist in their line up. So next time I'm going to try to remember to enter.

Today I get to travel home in style with an upgrade which always makes me happy. It is so much easier to bead with a little more room. And I'll be beading! I have an idea that I'm working out for next year's Beading by the Bay class.

It's funny this job, where you are always planning for the future. Right after I finish up the Dallas collaboration for the Bead Dreams entry, I'll be finishing the Beading by the Bay project and then starting in on an idea I have for my September 2011 cruise to Alaska with Carole Tripp from Creative Castle.

Life remains exciting! and if you're a seed bead girl like me, here is an exciting picture from Bead Creative in New Hampshire

    Oh my gosh! I love those seed beads. I am glad it is not nearby, I just don't have the money to spend. :)

    My dream is that I walk into my studio one morning and that's what it look like. Walls of beads.

    Living close to that would be like living next door to Out on a Whim. I would probably want to sleep there too. lol

    The exciting part of this picture is knowing that the other side of the display has the rest of the colors. I love this store!

    Oh, that photo makes me drool. I HOPE to have as large a selection for my customers someday - right now, my stock is still small enough to sell from a couple wine bottle racks.
    And obviously, with all the other projects on your plate - you did not enter Use the Muse again this time. I would have loved to have you as a fellow participant. Maybe number V!

    I could use a visit to that store, I am looking for a certain shade of brown seed bead and haven't been able to find it yet!
