Yes, I’m doing a second blog post today. I need to get caught up and I’ve finally managed to carve out some time, so please bear with me. I’ve been working on this custom order since February, and it’s a pretty big one. Here are all the parts. Globe Amaranth Freesia Ranunculus Stargazer Lily Stargazer …
Today is a good day, because I finally get to update my blog. Forgive me, I’m actually going to publish two blog posts today, since I’m trying to catch up. For this post I thought it would be fun to share with you all the pictures I took during a study on some peach blossom …
Wow January has gone by way too quickly. But guess what I’ve got for you guys!? That’s right, it’s a new video tutorial. 🙂 This time I demonstrate a technique of my own invention, which I am very proud of, called “Continuous Basic Frame”. Check it out below. If you’ve purchased my Dahlia patterns, or …
For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you know I like to post some reflections and goal planning for the new year. This past year was a difficult one for me. I had a baby in January, and because of that I intended on taking it easy. But that’s …
Intro I promised you guys a video demonstration of Scallops, and I’ve finally managed to get a semi-decent one made. Yay! Making videos is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but it’s a difficult thing for me to do. I’m pretty shy, and public speaking is pretty far outside my comfort zone. …
Hello my dear readers! I hope this post finds you all in good health and spirits. I’ve been posting about a custom wedding bouquet that I’ve been working on, and then I forgot to come back and post the finished pictures here. This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever made. It has some …

I’ve been quiet on purpose this time. The last couple of months I’ve been working on a rather large project, probably one of the largest things I’ve ever made (if measuring by mass) but I can’t post pictures here yet in case someone sees it before they are meant to see it… and it’s killing …
 One of my most favorite parts of French Beading is the design work, making a brand new flower from scratch. The whole process excites me. For me, at least, if it’s not challenging, then it’s not fun. ​So, when deciding where to begin with the new Tips segment on my blog, I thought it would …

I’m going to quickly update about this last piece I’ve finished. My series of Tips will start next week as I am completely exhausted and haven’t had a chance to gather all my thoughts (or what’s left of my thoughts after this piece) for the first segment on Designing Flowers. Alrighty. Last week I showed …
New Pattern! First up, I did publish a new pattern and then got so busy that I forgot to post here about it… This one actually features two patterns for two different types of Tulips – Standard and Peony Tulips (aka Double Tulips). The patterns were so similar that I figured it would be easier …
So I’ve been on maternity leave for a while, but I’m still beading up a storm. You can tell because my studio looks like a tornado hit it. Since I’ve had all this free time to make whatever I want, I sat down and made a list of all the new flower designs I wanted …
Well hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the Holidays. I’ve been waiting to update my blog until I could share pictures of what I’ve been working on. I was wanting to make more Christmas ornaments and some christmas trees, but ran out of time to make Christmas presents. So I’m making a few …
I absolutely must begin by sending a big thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy of Beaded Berry Collection since it’s release a few weeks ago. I hope you are all enjoying the tutorial. There were a couple people who had some problems receiving the emailed receipt, and couldn’t download their copy. In …
A big thank you to everyone who purchased the Hydrangea and Lily of the Valley patterns I published last time. I do greatly appreciate your support, and I hope you are enjoying the patterns.My friends, last night I was finally able to publish “Beaded Berry Collection” on my website!! After so many months of work, …
I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately. A few of you have emailed me to make sure I haven’t died. It’s been a struggle the last month and a half (family illness, ridiculous pregnancy, and starting school), but I’m still alive and working as much as I can. Just not much extra strength or time …
