Welcome to Studio Saturday! Each week one of our contributors gives you a sneak peek into their studio, creative process or inspirations. We ask a related question of our readers and hope you’ll leave comments! As an incentive we offer a free prize each week to bribe you to use that keyboard. The following week we choose a random winner. Congratulations Alice, you won an Ally bead from Cindy.
Hi everyone! Spring is my busiest time of the year….let me show you a little of what I have been working on since my last Studio Saturday post.
A project for Quilts and More magazine.
Built a bench.
Worked on re-arranging the store.
I’ve been making lots of beads like these for Bead and Button.
I just got back from Quilt Market.
That happens to be my question for the week. Leave me a comment letting me know if you plan to be at the show. One person who comments will be randomly chosen to win a set of Jangles Beads. If you will be at Bead and Button this year, please stop by booth 1103 and say hi.
Happy Saturday!

May 21, 2011 at 12:58 pmOh boy, do I wish I could go. I am so envious of everyone who will. I can't unfortunately. Too far away.
I love to see your work laid out like that on those cooling tables (are they cooling tables? I'm just guessing :-)). That bench is so great! I wanna have one too. And very yummie beads that I wish I will win!!!!
