I've been working with beads and fibers for many years, and I've taken a sabbatical from teaching as I explore other possibilities of color and texture with knitting.

My book, "Bead Crochet", published by Interweave Press, is available and is filled with a myriad of tempting designs and projects in easy bead crochet.You can order it here,

I sold my store several years ago, and now have time for other creative endeavors, including traveling by train across the US and Canada, writing memoirs, and doing more volunteer work, including hospice - I'm grateful to be able to do many different things in this life, including living simply in Vermont!
