Third Annual Suburban Bead Encounter...

I missed it! I learned about the May 15th show while shopping at The Place to Bead in Naperville, IL. Obviously, I had the location wrong in my brain, and showed up the next day at the wrong place! Too late I realized that the show must have been at the "other" Hilton on Coporate West. By then, I had changed my afternoon plans and had gone clothes shopping instead. I think there's another one scheduled for the fall.

It's been too gray/rainy to do much photography. So I've been working on some beadstitching projects, including a really fabulous piece that I can't wait to list on NoelleLaBelle.etsy.com! I've also been organizing a room downstairs in our house to be my beading/jewelry studio. I have a work station, much better lighting, and finally a permanent place for my rolling cart. I purchased a Commercial 7-Tier Steel Bin Rack from Sam's Club awhile ago that is really made for organizing garage tools. But it's perfect for storing my jewelry tools, beads, findings, bead stitching books and magazines, and everything else. I can pull out the individual bins and bring them to the table if I need to, then put them back neatly when I'm done.
