Ooh beads!

Last Thursday, I was shopping at the JoAnn's fabric store and re-found a very cool bead store on the way home. I had been to Eclectica www.eclecticabeads.com once before years ago, so I decided to stop in again. Wow! I was blown away at the changes. They have expanded the store, have tons of beads, books and just about everything you need for beading. But, the best part is... they now have a studio. You can just walk in, choose a kit, and sit down and make your kit with help from an instructor!
When you buy a kit, you get free instruction if you need it. This is perfect for me, because in the past I have always just bought random beads and materials, not knowing what I was doing, and then I ended up having a bunch of stuff, and no idea how to put it together.
So, now I am all jacked up on a beading high because now I can get help on my schedule! Of course, I walked out of the studio with 3 kits and am planning on going in this week to get help making them. I'll post the pictures.
