As the thermometer rises and the humidity soars, the idea of sitting inside and creating sounds great. Now, as much as my kids like video games, they still get excited when I break out the beads and start making something. Their favorite is making things for Grandma. She is a good sport about it though. I also get them to bead gifts for their friends when they have a birthday party to go to or need a gift for a teacher. They get a great sense of satisfaction from being able to tell everyone they made it!! We live in Tucson and have a great gem show. My daughter was thrilled when a class mate asked her teacher if the necklace that my daughter had made for her, had been purchased at the gem show. So go ahead, get creative, get the family involved, and have some summer fun. Just click on the Clever Crafter link below!

As a beader I continually want to try new things, use new stones, attempt new techniques. Sometime it takes practice to make it work, other times it just comes together. A lot of us here are crafty and just talking about things makes an idea form. I don't belong to a beading club but that would be a great avenue to inspiration as well. Or maybe a beading home party, that sounds like fun. Well, whatever your ideas for inspiration are don't hold back, anything goes! Happy Beading
