One thing I cannot do is sit around and do nothing, so whenever I can, I create. I am passionate about designing and creating new projects. I have published 2 novels - Beyond the Darkness and Hidden Treasure - and am busy on the 3rd one, 'Captive'.

My love for beading began many years ago, and my designs have featured in 'The Bead Book' and the 'DIY Jewelry Making magazine'. I have been teaching beading for many years from beginners to master classes in all techniques. My beading patterns are also available from my ETSY shop.

My crafts designs are all unique, and you won't find them in any magazines, so the best place to learn how to do them is right here. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did in teaching them. I intend to create for many years to come and my belief is that one is never too old to start something new. That is a philosophy I have lived by. I constantly push myself to try new things, even if it is just once, to say that, "Yes" I have done that. To me, success is not measured by how much money you make, but by how much joy you see in another person''s face at their sense of achievement after you have passed on your gifts and knowledge.
