Over A Year

 Well, it has been over a year since my last post.  I have been very busy working as an RN.  The latest update is that I fell at work and tore my meniscus.  I will be having surgery soon.  I do plan to return to beading as soon as I am able.

New Beaded Needle Case Designs

 Beading up new needle case designs.  I'm building a collection of mermaids.  I have several mermaids from older designs but have recently added a Sponge Diver and Mermaid, and a Pirate and Mermaid.  I would like to put all of the mermaids in one book.  Anyone with good advice on printing a book of patterns please let me know.

Fundamentals of Woodturning

Last Saturday I attended my first class on woodturning.  This was so much fun!  Wooden needle cases are getting harder and harder to find.  So, I have decided to make them myself. Steve Elliott was my instructor.  He is an excellent teacher.  He even stayed late after class to show me all the tools I will need to make needle cases.  He even took the time to show me how to make a needle case.  I highly recommend going to Woodcraft for your wood working needs and classes.

Guess who is next.

I cannot wait to get started on this design.  I have a new needle case that is 42 Delica beads around.  The lid is designed to keep the wood exposed.  The cases can be stained for different finishes.

It's about time for new tutorials. This would be a good one to start with.

This collection is so much fun. Now I know why people collect Wizard of Oz memorabilia .  

Once again, the little voice inside my head said, "Go back to the thrift store." Guess who I found?  The Lion...could not believe it! I am putting the others on my wish list for Santa!

The Cowardly Lion Beaded Needle Case Pattern by Beth Murr

Do you believe in the Law of Attraction?  I do.

If not, explain this. Finally took a break from beading yesterday and went out for a burger. Something kept telling me to swing by the local thrift store. They had several bins of stuffed animals. At the bottom of one, I found these two guys!

Fifty cents each!

The Cowardly Lion is circling the needle case.

Needle Case Pattern Inspiration. Where does it come from?

While working on the Wizard of Oz Tin Man, it occurred to me that some characters were missing. How could the set be complete without OZ? As I walked into a patient's room last night he said, "Here let me change the TV to something you can watch while you are in here." Much to my surprise he changed his ballgame to The Wizard of Oz movie. I explained to him that I had been wanting to see this movie because I needed to check on what colors the hot air balloon was. This opened a fun conversation about my bead work. The movie was at the exact part where the wizard is discovered behind the curtain; perfect timing! He was so excited to see my designs. His interest was playing a role in the design process and his smiles were genuine. I love this part of nursing. We connect with patients and actually see them healing through random acts of kindness. I will always remember him saying, "Now you know what color of green you need, use a very special red for her slippers, and don't forget the Good Witch."

Raccoon Beaded Needle Case by Beth Murr

Beaded Raccoon Needle Case Pattern by Beth Murr

Raccoon Needle Case is next!

The Raccoon is next! Over the years, I have raised six little baby raccoons. We share so many similarities. Tactile creatures that we are, we love to do things with our hands. Shiny things catch our eye. Nightlife is definitely preferred over day. We are easy going and laid back until you threaten us. Even then, we prefer flight over fight. However, the bite is ferocious. Sudden and unexpected loud noises startle us. We can mix and mingle or find tranquility in solitude. We both have dark circles around our eyes! LOL!!! 

Australian Beading Magazine Websites We Love

Bound for Washington state. A few years back, I was featured in the Australian Beading Magazine. This was such a surprise to find in my mailbox that day. I still can't believe it. I find it so ironic that Shipwreck Beads was featured right beside me. Shipwreck Beads is in Washington state. I've had my eye on this place for a long time and I will go there! Gonna be a long road trip with many exciting stops along the way. Sure to be filled with Kodak moments.
