About Me

I've been crafting most of my life. A few years ago I got interested in beads. It seems like I have been looking for this particular medium for my whole life. I now make and design beaded jewelry. You can find my beaded jewelry in my Etsy Shop and my bead patterns are available at Bead Patterns Boutique and The Bead Coop.

I have been a soapmaker and herbologist since 1999 and am continually studying alternative healing modalities. My main blog covers most of my crafts and hobbies, but I'm also writing one on common herbs.

I've branched out from just blogging about my interests and now am also a freelance writer with several lenses on Squidoo how-to articles on e How and Firehow, various topics on Bukisa, and I've recently started writing for Demand Studios.

I live on the high plains of Texas, am a retired bookkeeper, but I must keep myself busy, which I do by taking care of my yard and herb garden plus all the other things I've mentioned above.  I'm constantly exploring the world of crafts to find new things I can incorporate into my beadwork.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments about my blog or any of my interests.
