I've been working on new patterns. I'm pooped! I two uploaded today and more to come in the next week. I've also rearranced my pattern web site. I hope it makes the patterns a little easier to find. I separated the loom and peyote patterns within the categories. Take a look and let me know if you like the changes or not. I also added two pages, one with just the newest patterns and one with the "best sellers" for three years. I know some of you have been wanting to know what was popular. Now you know! And speaking of new patterns, the latest ones are shown on the right.

I have some beadylicious eye candy for you today. Relax and enjoy the goodies.

Till next time, bead well.
