Q: Do you have a next goal you want to accomplish?

My biggest goal is to streamline my time and use it more wisely to be more productive. Ideas are always swirling around in my head and making it onto paper in the form of little sketches. I plan on making jewelry on a more regular basis with my many boxes full of gorgeous artisan beads. I am also challenging myself to make at least one polymer bead a day.

Q: If you were not a bead/jewelry artist, what would you be doing?

Jewelry and bead making are so a part of my daily life and such a joy to play with every spare moment. I’m not sure what I would be doing…I definitely miss working on my cross-stitch and embroidery project. But I was running out of wall space and I couldn’t wear any of them. In college I wanted to write novels and did make inroads into a manuscript. I would love to go back to it when the kids go off to collage to fill my empty nest.

Q: Do you have a life motto and if so, would you like to share this with us?

Keep searching until you find what you love to do, the missing puzzle piece. And then throw your whole self into it. If you love what you are doing others will, too.

Q: Do you have tips, tricks or advise you like to share with us?

Find friends who share your interests. There will be times when you feel stuck, lose your focus, or feel you are not good enough.

My beady friends have given me advice, insight, and support that helped create a better me. And always let your instincts guide you.
