Warm & cozy greetings to you, Dear Beader!
|
|
This is one of those Newsletters where I have so much to say that I don't know what to say! If you've spent any time with me in the Bead Shop, you have likely seen me in this "squirrelly" state...loaded with energy and lists and yet a bit frozen but also all over the place!
|
|
Let's start with Thanks Giving. Thank you to all of you who called, emailed, or even stopped by & shopped or took a class over the cold and snowy long weekend. I can't help but love snow days even if they result in slow days. I hope everyone was able to find warmth & coziness whether you were home or out and about.

Next, there are A LOT of new items either already in the Shop or on the way! I mentioned the new shapes of Japanese Seed Beads in the last Newsletter: Tila, Half-Tila, and Quarter-Tila Beads that can be used to make the super-trendy stretch tile bracelets, Long Magatama and 3 other sizes of Drop Beads that I LOVE to use in Kumihimo projects and they also make a great addition to Beaded Fringe. The Bead Shop now offers 3-cut Seed Beads in 12/0, as well as 15/0 & 8/0, to add extra Flash to your Beading or Embroidery projects. More colors & finishes of Seed Beads have been added to 15/0, 11/0, 8/0, 6/0, and 3/0 sizes. SO MANY BEADS!!!

In addition to Beads, there are new Tools in the Shop. New shapes of Wire Working Pliers are available. To make Beading easier for you, a Magnifier Headband with 5 different Lenses and an LED Light has been added. The wide BASIC ELEMENTS WOOD LOOM (12.5" X 13" X 3.5") by BeadSmith is back in stock and the newly-released and highly-anticipated Basic Elements ComfortLoom Adjustable Standing Beading Loom has finally arrived! OO! How could I have almost forgotten: There are new ADORABLE Mini Bead Spinners...perfect for quickly & painlessly stringing Beads for bracelets, mini garlands, Bead Crochet, Kumihimo, so much more!
|
And, arriving any day now, new colors & shapes of ParaWire! Woohoo!
