Now I lay me down to bead...

When I'm settling down for bed, many nights I'm hit with design ideas. I don't know what it is about "going to bed" but it makes me want to create.

 So I gather up my supplies, lay them out on my tv tray and head off to bed. 

The only downside to that is 1.) I'm in and out of bed running off to grab a tool or more beads (major bummer when I'm comfortable!) and 2.) I wake up with a bed full of beads!

 Beading is so relaxing. It really does soothe me and help me to unwind. I started beading in 2009 when my younger sister passed away, very suddenly. I needed something constructive to do to keep my sanity and I found that with jewelry design.

 So here I am, beading in bed....and I smile!
