Hi All -
Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/DavesBeads.
I’m getting ready for Portland Open Studios….should be fun. If you are in Portland on October 17th or 18th drop me a line. Our studio will be open to the public. I’ll be doing demonstrations and have tons of beads available.
Some New Pictures
It’s been a little while….
Hello out there!
My “Year of Simplification” has had a few casualties as well….including my blog. For those of you that didn’t know, my New Year’s Resolution last year was to simplify things so that I would have more time for fun things. So in addition to cleaning a ton of things in my glass room, I also had two additional glass cabinets built for me this year. So all of my glass is now off the floor and organized for easy use. The downside of all of this cleaning and taking on some big projects here at the house is that I haven’t been making many beads the last month or so. Fortunately I set up an auction to kick off on Ebay on Thanksgiving afternoon. If you have some time between football and turkey hopefully you’ll take a quick look. Have a Great Thanksgiving!
New Pictures

How are these for cute? The top picture is my interpretation of Devera and her cousin Riley in their princess dresses. The bottom picture is their castle that my sister drew for them. That’s a pretty good looking castle if you ask me. Devera was pretty proud of both of the drawings. I have a feeling it’s not always going to be this easy.
Hope you are having a good week. New Ebay auction should be coming soon. Keep in eye out for it if you are interested.
Hello Everyone -
A little Ebay news….there’s an auction ending tomorrow (Thursday) and about the same time a new one will launch. The new set going up is really nice. It takes a lot to impress Toby and even she was pretty excited about them.
Since I haven’t posted a picture in awhile….here’s a new one from our visit to the beach this weekend.
Website Back Up & Running
Whoohoo! It’s fixed. New Special is up now….one of Toby’s creations using my beads. I’ll be working to get a new Ebay auction up soon too, hopefully in the next day or two.
Trouble with Website
Hello Everyone -
I’m having some technical difficulties with my website. For some reason I can’t update it, which is impacting not only the site but also my Ebay auctions. So for now I don’t have an Ebay auction up and the Special on the homepage is actually sold. I’ll let you know when I’m able to reach technical support and my site is updated. Until then…have a great week!
BeadHive is Back!
How fun is this – - I got an invitation to join the old Ebay group (the BeadHive) that I used to enjoy looking at. It was discontinued a couple years back and I remember it was sort of sad because it was a lot of fun to see what other lampworking and jewelry artists were doing. And it was a nice site in that it always had a kind of “teamwork” feel to it. Anyway, even though I know I don’t have as much time to invest as I used to it will still be fun to check in from time to time.
Funny how things end up coming back around sometimes huh?
Checking In
Good grief it’s been a long time since I posted something on here. I got super busy with a bunch of major house projects but the last few days I have been back on the torch. My plan is to put up an Ebay auction towards the end of next week.
Hope things have been going well for all of you. Things have been good here. Today Devera picked her spinach that she grew in the garden and we had it for dinner tonight. I don’t remember really liking fresh spinach as a kid but she loves it. I’m pretty excited that she will just eat it straight off the plant while we are walking around the yard. And today we noticed the first green strawberries…shouldn’t be too long before those things are going crazy with fruit!
Have a great weekend!
Trip to San Francisco
