Well where to begin? I have loved needle work,sewing and beads for as long as I can remember.

In the 60,s I made and sold the daisy chain necklaces, bracelets and rings down town Miami,Fl. In the 70,s I sold cross stitch ,clay beads for my macrame' wall hangings. In the 80,s it was baby quilts. I cross stitched for a woman who published books for cross stitching. Also did sewing for a company that sold activities for Alzheimer's.

I have taken a few class in bead work while living in Florida and have given some classes too. I have also taken a class in Lampwork beads.

I spent about 4 years selling at craft shows.

Not to mention that during all this I was also raising my 7 children and now a granddaughter.
