My husband. He takes very good care of me - especially when I am having a bad fibro flare. He supports me in many ways and understands my bead addiction!

things that are soft and comfy. Sometimes it hurts for anyone to even touch me.

I love all kinds of books. I actually had to thin out my library recently because I had run out of room.

I like soft rock, instrumental and Enya

I'm not much of a movie person.

Beading, of course! I dabble in a lot of different types of crafts.

I suffer from chronic pain due to fibromyalgia. When I work on my jewelry the pain seems to fade into the background for a little while. It helps me to lose myself in the mechanics of beading but also to have the beauty of what I have created.

I love to make matching sets of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. There is something about a set that makes my efforts seem complete.

I love anything romantic and antique like.

They just come to me. I try to let the beads tell me what they were meant to be.

Don't be intimidated about anything. Everyone started at the same place you are.

In my comfy recliner. The only problem is my cats "want to help"!

Fire Mountain Gems is my favorite online supplier but I love repurposing old jewelry from yard sales and flea markets.

I was extremely depressed and bought some beads to see if I could bring some beauty to my life.

I live in Arkansas with my wonderful husband and our 6 cats. Yes, 6 cats. I raised 4 of them with a bottle and they are my fur babies! When I first got sick they helped me from going insane. It took 8 months for me to be diagnosed. I was in intense pain and my doctors were starting to think I was crazy. My cats gave me unconditional love and comfort. I couldn't have made it without them.
