I love to bead and it's something I do every day for fun. I am retired and finally getting to pursue the hobbies I have always enjoyed, but had limited time to do. Some other activities I have done (and sometimes still do) are crocheting, rug hooking, basket weaving, painting, silversmithing, wood carving, sewing, quilting and cake decorating. I have tried to tat and knit, and bunka embroidery but never really learned it very well. Something I want to learn how to do is kumihimo...

I am orginally from Michigan, but transferred to Colorado with my job in 1984. I am now retired and enjoying my free time being creative. I am married and we have one daughter who is 25 years old and working in Thailand at the moment.

Too many to name. Am currently reading "The Girl Who Played with Fire" by Stieg Larrson. Just discovered that he passed away a number of years ago though...what a shame!

...anything but Country or Classical.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon...he keeps me company while I pursue all my little crafty adventures into the wee hours!

If you want to know my preferred sizes here they are:

Bracelet- 7.25 to 7.50 inches Necklace-- mostly 18-20 inches Ring--at least a 7 for ring finger, larger ok too for other fingers Earrings--I love to make earrings, but I don't have pierced ears...anything I recieve in this category will be gifted to another person. But that's ok with me, if it's ok with you.
