Running of the Chihuahuas 2010 Chattanooga, TN

Just got an email from Brad. JJ is in the race! He was just a baby last year but he gave it his all. He is all grown up now and ready to win!

Busy. Call back later.

So little time for beading this week. It's killing me. Just when I was on a big fat roll! I must, I must, I must get this Dragon's Castle finished! Just one more row. That's what I always say. Hours later, I am still at it!

Dragon's Castle Long Needle Case Pattern

Did a little wood burning tonight. Love that stuff. My latest bead box.

Here's a tiny sneak preview. Beading it up right now.

Blue Poison Dart Frog Short Needle Case Pattern

Here he is. The most poisonous one yet! Very Easy pattern to follow. Now on to my next pattern. It is going to be a Bad Kitty!
No fish will be harmed in the making of this needle case.

Needle Case Pattern Tree Frogs

Here's a new pattern I am currently beading up! Tree frogs.

Bead Dish For Beading

Here's The Big Mama of bead dishes. She is no light weight. She's heavier and bigger than the others. She has 12 different compartments. That will separate a lot of colors. Great for working with Delicas and seed beads. Measurements are 7.5 inches in diameter by 1 inch tall. Gotta love the Big Mama!

Beaded Needle Case Honey Bee

Just finished the Honey Bee Short Needle Case. I will be posting a long version later tonight. This pattern is super easy to follow. Buy it on my website.

Is this thing on?

June 18th, 2010. I can hardly wait!

What's another word for needle cases?

According to WikiAnswers-

Another word for needle case is etui.
This is a standard crossword puzzle clue - etui, but an etui holds sewing needles.
n. needle-case; small case for toilet articles, etc. © From the Hutchinson Encyclopaedia. Helicon Publishing LTD 2007.

If you mean a roll of fabric for storing knitting needles in narrow "pockets", that rolls up and ties with ribbons or similar, that's a needle roll.

Okay well that said, Needle Cases - my little wooden items with lids that hold my needles, that 36 Delica beads fit around perfectly so I can bead really cool designs on them. That's the definition according to Beth Murr.

Oh, one last thing. They are not suitable for toilet items!

Needle Case Pattern Honey Bee

New short needle case pattern! I gave you plenty of birds so, I thought it was time for some bees! This short needle case pattern is made using the even count tubular peyote stitch. I have been as busy as a little bee! Spring cleaning. Lot's of great deals on beads, cabochons and findings.

Bead Dishes Now For Sale on My Website

These are by far my favorite dish to bead out of. Notice I did not say eat out of....I was very careful to say bead out of. I bought my first one in Sacramento, California when I was there on a travel nurse assignment. One of the most fun things I did while travel nursing was hunt down bead stores. There are so few in Chattanooga, TN. I miss all the great bead stores in New Mexico, California and Maine.

Beaded Needle Case Pattern Picket Fence

Here it is as promised. The short version of my latest needle case pattern. I did this one in matte colors. Hard to say which one I really like the best. The shiny blue Delicas #44 just about blinded me while I was beading the long version. Matte colors are so much easier to work with. They are hot off the printer and already selling. Thanks to everyone who buys my patterns and supports me. Maybe I won't be a starving artist too much longer.

The Pollen is killing me!

Here's a link to how pollen counts are done. Interesting Stuff!
Pollens are monitored using a “Rotorod” pollen sampler or any other plastic rod or similar device that is covered with silicone grease.


I can barely see to do my bead work. The pollen count in Chattanooga, TN is classified as very high. Just how is pollen count calculated anyway? Is there a color chart you can match your vehicles to? My black van is now the color of Delica Bead number 160. Oh great, now it is sprinkling rain. Hoping variegated black and yellow paint jobs are in style.

Add A Shopping Cart To Your Website!

I have learned so much over the past year while building my Until We Bead Again website. First Rule - Never delete anything unless you have another copy somewhere. Second Rule - Leave code alone if you do not know what you are doing! In the beginning I was just so excited to get started. Later as I began to add patterns I learned how important layout is. I know this is an ongoing process. Tweek, tweek, tweek. I can never find a stopping place. I just eventually become exhausted, and fall asleep thinking about what I will change the next day.

No Right Click

Oh it did not start out to be a good day. I was trying to add that little no right click thing to my website and then...CRASHED MY WEBSITE! I don't know exactly how I did it but somehow I was able to recover it. For a minute there I thought all my blood, sweat and tears over the past year was done in vain. Lost forever.
I am exhausted. I did a ton of work updating my website. My bead program just doesn't cut the mustard, so I have to do a lot of work making my patterns available on my website. Details, details, details. Well the attention I pay to details may have something to do with why I enjoy those tiny little beads! Anyway, I am all caught up and well satisfied, at least for now. More patterns on the way. I have had enough practice for today. Time to rest. Hopefully I will not forget everything I have learned.
