The best laid plans of mice and men....

Well as the title says... I was unable to get any pictures of my work posted this weekend as I have been fabulously busy!  I had a wonderful time with my "bestie" Therese Frank!!  We were involved in a church bazaar sale this weekend that lasted for two days! We were successful and quite happy with our sales this weekend.  I am going to have to cry off posting anything until the week after Thanksgiving as my husband and I are headed to North Carolina to spend the holiday with his family.  Of course I will be hitting some bead shops while I'm there!  Thanks for taking time out with me...have a blessed holiday.  God Bless......

Getting my feet wet....

My name is Crystie Marlette Willard.  I am an avid beader and have been beading for about 7 years now.  I've only been comfortable with freeform peyote for quite a while until a dear friend of mine Therese Frank talked me into expanding my horizons.  I've now added bead embroidery (which I am truly enjoying) and I am in the process of learning all the beading stitches. Beading is my peace and serenity where I can lose myself in the joy of creating with different sizes, textures, and color!  I am also a hairstylist and have been in the profession for 33 years now.  What a wonderful life I've had sharing good and bad times with friends who come in to get a new "lease on life" so to speak. More often than not, a new cut and color can change your whole perspective on how you are viewing your life. It sure changes mine!!!! Well, I will wind this up and leave you with my favorite verse...Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  God Bless you for taking time out to read my first blog post.  Pictures of my work, hair and beading, will be posted this weekend...
