Things I'm working on:
*New beads: cast resin, resin bezel pendants, new disk beads and Van Gogh Almond Blossom beads. (resin keys pictured above.)
*Bead Cruise: some of our instructors for next year include Dallas Lovett, Marcia DeCoster, Tracy Stanley and Beverly Herman. We set sail March 27, 2011!
*Working on getting some themed sets for my etsy shop that are featured on the cover and within Stringing magazine.
*Getting ready for my mom and Cricket to arrive on the 10th - can't wait. We have so many beady plans.
*Oh yeah, and I am officially writing a book for Kalmbach! Yep, me and a book contract, happily living together. It is a jewelry design book featuring art beads and inspiration. I've been working on the designs and content for over year, so I'm jumping in now with both feet and a deadline.

lemme know if you need any designs for your book :)
i'd love to be a part of it.
Wow! That's alot to wrap your head around. Isn't life grand? I can't believe I'm already thinking of next years cruise too. Have fun with Mom and Cricket. One of these years I'm just gonna have to vacation a week at your house? Why haven't we thought of that before? Just saying maybe we should. Love you!
WOW! Lots of stuff in the works. Can't wait to see the book!
Bead Happy!

Your design is always a source of inspriration for me. I am so happy that you will be writing this book. The colour in your cast resin rocks!
Congrats on the book news Heather. I love your drawings and your finished work. Those resin keys are a wonderful tropical shade of blue. Must have caught some of those waters on the Bead Cruise.
