Good Morning Paper Bead Friends and Happy New Year!
Hope you all had a safe and memorable New Year’s Eve! It was pretty quiet around our place but we did stay awake long enough to take our annual family selfie at the stroke of Midnight!!! Welcome 2015!
I have lots of wonderful thoughts and ideas for the new year…now all I have to do is get them down on paper and not lose sight of them!
One of the things I recently began to work on for my studio is a paper bead curtain! The time it will take is a bit discouraging, in between handling my Etsy Shop, but I am bound and determined to finish one for the door window in the studio. It will look similar to the one below only on a smaller, shorter scale! I think it will amazing! What do you think? Definitely an ongoing project!
What’s going on in your crafty world? Any New Year Resolutions? I’d love to hear about them!
Until next time, Happy Beading!
Happy New Year!

Our First Snow of the Season!
Good Saturday Morning Everyone!
Well after months of me talking about it, I am finally sharing a picture with you of my finished craft studio! I decided to take a shot of my studio during our first snow here in Washington! And NO! This is not the original studio I had chosen but because we had such a hard time getting the builder to communicate with us, we decided to go a different direction! We went thru Tuff Shed for this design and I am absolutely in love with it! It did not come without frustrations though…
We are NOT contractors by trade and decided to save some money and finish the inside ourselves! Once we chose the design and size, it was built and set up the following week! My husband is such a trooper! He worked all day at his real job and then would come home and work all evening to finish up my studio! From insulation to the finishing paint touches, it is now ready for use…well it has been for the last couple months! However, even though it has heat, it’s sooooo cold, it takes a long time to heat up! I haven’t got to spend as much time out there as I’d like to but I imagine once winter is over and spring is on the way, things will change!
I have so much more I want to get for it and things I want to do on the inside…but that will be over time!
Hope you all have a happy little place to create!!! Until next time, Happy Beading!

From My Studio Today…
It’s a bit overcast this morning here in the Seattle area but I won’t let that get me down! I have big plans to have some “Me” time in the my studio today! It’s suppost to be beautiful and sunny as the morning moves on so I plan to take my beading outside!
I have a great outside entrance to my studio with a small deck at the doorway. I’ve put a patio table and chairs out there for days just like this! I want to craft but don’t want to be inside, so I will set up my tray and bring it on outside to my deck and bead away! I will post a pic a bit later on when the weather changes and chores are done!
So what are your crafty plans today? What projects do you have planned? It’s hard to be inside when we have nice weather here because there seems to be so little of it, why waste it inside, right? I’d love to here about your project plans today! Can you take your space outside to work?
Let’s meet up later on today and I will share my outside studio photo’s with you! Have a great Saturday and Happy Beading!
