Heads up dragon lovers! There is a dragon sculpture in the Beading For a Cure auctions this week. Take a peek at all their goodies! New items go on sale every week so check often.

It feels so like spring in Santa Fe today. My hands are really wanting to get new plants in the ground. I know it's too early so I have to slap my hands. Guess I'd better get out the beads and get to work. Any excuse is a good excuse to bead. Right?

I've almost gone off the deep end trying to get all the bead patterns and e-Books on my web site to work properly. I could handle this better if it were my fault but it isn't. It's the download service's fault. I think everything except the Russian Leaves is working now. That one may or may not work. SIGH. If you want an item and can't get it to show up in the shopping cart just send the money to me by PayPal at suzybeads@yahoo.com I'll e-mail the file to you just as quickly as I can. Please e-mail me if you find another wonky one. As far as I know all the stained glass downloads are working.

Till the next time, bead well.

Jewelry for your trees..... Hey, don't shoot the messenger! I just report these things!

Caravan Beads says "A long while back we asked Miyuki if they could produce smaller Delicas. After many months of work, they told us that it was possible and we placed an order. These new 15/0 precision-cut Delicas (DBS) are now in production with an initial run of 127 colors. We don't have a delivery date yet."

Lynn wrote "I have a request ... in your next newsletter ... would you please include something newsworthy on the environmental front ... I belong to Catalogue Choice. I list the catalogs I no longer wish to receive (about 50 now) for various reasons (no interest, save the trees, etc., ) and they contact these companies and ask them to remove my name from their mailing list. I am sure your loyal readers would like to know about this service."

I have to brag a wee bit here. A photographer wrote for permission to use one of my poems with his photograph. I feel so honored.
