The store has been busy, busy, busy! (And I've been busy, busy, busier...)

We're well into our first quarter of classes and I couldn't be more thrilled about how they've gone! We've had one Basic Bead-Strining class, one Wire Crochet Necklace class, one Pearl Knotting class, and two Ring Duet classes (a duet of Ring Duet classes!) so far.

I've always been the type of person who picks up something quickly. I can look at a picture of handmade beaded jewelry in a magazine and immediately come up with a way to make it...but I've also been at this whole beading thing (and the arts and crafts thing in general) for quite a while. I'm so impressed with how well everyone is learning each class project.

I'm posting some pictures below of customer-created jewelry. Beading is such a fun hobby because once you learn one particular skill, you can build on that and make cuter and more creative stuff with each new project you do. These pieces pictured below are ones that I've actually remembered to take pictures of. I have to remember to take pictures of everything. I'm so inspired by all the things that are created at the store.

It's not too late to sign up for classes for this quarter! It's the perfect thing to do while still stuck inside for the next month or so. The first day of spring is just 32 days away!
