My Story

I live in bustling prairie city of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and cats.  I always loved beaded items. I remember as a kid going on vacation with my mom and dad and begging them to buy me a beaded keychain from one of the souvenir shops we stopped at. I was fascinated and from that point on, I knew I wanted to learn how to bead.

​

I started beading in 1998 as a hobby, creating beautiful fringe earrings and necklaces.  This was really pre-internet, so I had learned from trial and error and books. Supplies were quite limited so most of the earrings were made with Japanese seed and bugle beads.  I sold my wares at craft sales and through family and friends. 

​

I beaded for a few years and then decided to stop, not because I didn’t enjoy it, but because as everyone knows, life happens and you change your priorities. I knew I would always come back to beading as a way of my creativity as I proudly displayed and wore my creations. In 2018, I decided to start beading again, just to use up my beading supplies, but upon working on my creations, I found that through the internet, I could purchase supplies much easier than before and with that, I was hooked again. I have expanded my beadwork to include different sizes, colors, makes and shapes of beads.
