The Challenge Is Almost Over

For those of you who are participating in the Buckaroo Bead/Beadwork Challenge: Just a reminder that the deadline to send in your pictures (or bring it to the store) is December 23. Note the date change. I originally said the 24th, but I forgot that we will be closed that day. I can not wait to see what you have created! Jenn

New: Sticky Bead Mats!

These new mats are ideal for keeping beads and findings where you want them-- especially when you are beading in the car or in your favorite recliner. Best of all, when they collect dust, simply wash them off with water, let them dry and the stickiness is refreshed, ready for your next piece of art.

The NEW Beth Stone book just arrived. More Seed Bead Stitching. This is a great book. I hope you can stop in for your copy today!
