Something that I sometimes struggle with after a big event like the Bead and Button show, which is wrapping up today, is that even if I have a bunch of fun and shiny new treasures, I can be overwhelmed by inspiration and have a hard time sorting out what to make first. In this post from the archives, Heather gives some tips on how to get yourself on track with some beading goals and a muffin tin challenge,

Here are some updates from some of our beady friends this week:
