Hello Kelly,

I hope this email finds you happy and well. I've been MIA this week because my whole household had Covid. It was a rough few days but thankfully i'm on the back end of it and all of us are feeling much better. Being sick was the reason I didn't have a video this week but I've got some video news to share as well as some other fun news so lets get started.

Video Coming Monday:

On Monday I will be releasing the August Retro Redo Video, the Solitaire Ring. This was a ring I did many years ago and have since learned better ways to encase cabochons. I am super happy with the redo results because I feel it makes the encasement much easier to do. If you want to take advantage of the free shipping tomorrow here are some direct links for products I'll use in the video:

14x10mm Oval Crystals: Ovals

15/0 Miyuki Seed Beads: 15/0's: 

11/0 Delica Beads: Delica Beads

I have already written a new pattern for the ring and uploaded it on the website. If you choose to purchase the pattern you will be getting two patterns for the price of one. You will be getting the original pattern as well as the updated pattern. You can find the pattern HERE

Free Shipping Friday this week!!!

Be sure to take advantage of our September Free Shipping Friday which is tomorrow! Simply spend $12.00 or more and have the package shipping within the US to get free USPS shipping. You can shop my website HERE 

For those of you who place orders tomorrow, you will be getting a new package insert that will have an updated list of our upcoming FSF's and a list of promotions from now until Christmas.

Free Zoom coming on September 16th

Once a month I like to get together with you all to bead and to catch up with each other. We all work on our own projects and chat about what we are working on, things going on in the bead world, beading in general. This is a completely free zoom to attend. To sign up click HERE. Please be aware that although it's free to sign up, to secure your spot you still must go through the checkout process to attend. No payment will be asked for.

Online Truck Show Happening Soon!!!

On Monday September 12th at 6:00pm Eastern I will be hosting a kit trunk show of designs by my friend Melinda Barta. Melinda was Editor of Beadwork magazine for eight years before moving with her family to the mountains of Colorado. She has authored six books with Interweave/F+W Media, filmed many instructional DVDs on beadweaving techniques, taught at craft schools and bead shows nationwide, and shared her love of crafting on DIY, PBS, HGTV, Style, and local television networks.

I will be live on our Facebook Page showing you all the beautiful jewelry pieces and the kits we have for them. Believe me when I say that there are some amazing pieces and you will be sorry if you miss getting your hands on some of these kits. Once the kits are gone that's all I'll have. I'll be sending out a link soon if you'd like to hang out with me during the trunk show.

If you are ever in the area i'd love for you to stop by and take one of our wonderful in store classes. We have scheduled classes just about every Saturday. To keep up with all of our in store classes and Zoom classes available currently CLICK HERE
