✨ New tutorial is released today at 12 noon CST! ✨

Today I’m teaching 5 beginner-friendly herringbone-style stitches using the Northern Lights seed beads from the Beads of the Month Club.

These stitches can be mixed and matched to recreate my long necklace—or adapted into your own bracelet or necklace designs. If you’ve wanted to learn herringbone beadwork but didn’t know where to start, this is a great foundation video.

Let me know in the comments which stitch you’ll try first!

✨ New Video Goes Live Today at 12 CST! | December’s Time Traveler Unboxing + Porcelain Hour Earrings ✨

The December Bargain Bead Box: Time Traveler might be one of the most unique kits of the year—there’s even a working pocketwatch inside!

I unboxed everything on camera and created a quick mixed-media earring design using the porcelain floral beads and Alashan agate.

Come join me and tell me what you think of this month’s collection!

Question: Should the matching necklace be mixed media… or all wire-working?

If you’re in the northern Houston area this weekend, I’d love for you to stop by and say hello at The Woodlands Winter Makers Market. Details are provided below. Hope to see you there!

This project is quick, customizable, and perfect for winter gifts or holiday markets.
