We make beaded jewerly from seed beads to stone beads. We also make crocheted and knitted items, sewing items like towels, pot holders and plastic bag holders bad various other craft items. I am also a certified teacher working with special needs students and with homebound 504 students. My daughter and I have been creating jewelry for about 15 years. We set up at the local craft fairs to sell out products.
Beading: I love working with all beads. Getting all the colors and shapes together, to create necklesses, bracelets and earings.
Teaching: I work with special education students in training them for job employment. I also do tutoring services for my school plus private tutoring services. I love to help students understand and be successful.
