◄   My name is Sue and I am a bead-a-holic with no interest in joining a 12 step program to quit! I revel in my addiction. I have been making beaded jewelry since 1998. I started out making earrings. I would think, I can't believe people actually use those little beads! Well now they have become my obsession. I took every class I could find for a while. Once I had some thread patterns in my head I started creating my own patterns.

    Lampwork beads were very fascinating to me so of course I had to start making those! There is nothing like melting that glass! I also do glass fusing. I hope to get some pictures of my glass studio up on this site at some time. Many of my beaded pieces use my own lampwork beads. I also do many fused glass pieces for pendants, toggles and buttons.

  I offer private classes in fused glass, lampwork and many of the stitches that appear on this site.

    I am married to a wonderful man, Greg, who is very supportive of my bead business and is also very handy. It is wonderful! He makes all of my wonderful displays and helps whenever I do shows. He is a natural with computers and takes care of this whole site too! We have 2 great kids. Corey is 21 and Alyssa is 17. We also have an overly friendly cat named Tigger but we just call him Kitty. We added a springer spaniel to the family a couple of years ago. Her name is Lucy and she is spoiled rotten!!

  Let me know if you see something you like. I am always willing to share my ideas!!
