Proverbs 20:15 Lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
Thanks for visiting Bead At Home.
My name is Teri and I love sharing my passion for making beaded jewelry and any jewelry in general. I have been a work-from-home mother for over 16 years. I stumbled into the beading world partly on purpose, partly by accident in 2001 when my second child was on the way. I knew instantly that I was beginning a new journey but I had no idea where it was to take me. I quickly fell in love with this easy and affordable hobby of making jewelry. When I began this process of learning about beaded jewelry there was no one teaching in my area. I became frustrated, but I was also too determined to be discouraged and I forged ahead. Once I learned the basic beading techniques I immediately connected the dots and decided there had to be others that were experiencing the same frustrations as I was. I immediately had an overwhelming sense and desire that I had to bring this to others. ‘The Basics to Beading’ classes were born. I have now been instructing and unveiling the secrets of how to make basic beaded jewelry for over 9 years in a variety of venues and settings, fine tuning my format and instructions and introducing men, women and children (yes, including my own) into the world of beading. My vision for 'Bead At Home' is to create an information community and network focused on the beginner, keeping it simple, step by step, so that anyone that wants to learn this easy process can. I feel it's important to lay the foundation by first understanding the proper tools, techniques, terminology and tips on the basics of beading for the beginner. Once this solid foundation is layed then your inner creations and designs will grow within you. My other mission is to provide a safe place of connecting with other beading buddies. I love hearing from my visitors and new beading friends so feel free to leave comments and contribute as you feel lead. Make suggestions of topics or things you would like to see covered. I will be featuring other artist to help inspire you in your journey of exploring what type of beading you will venture into. 2012 continues to be a building year continuing to define where we are traveling in our beading journey. Come along and join the journey with me. I hope you enjoy what I am building here at the 'Bead At Home' and would love to hear from you. Now start your journey with my introductory Blog post titled 'Bead At Home Blog' to get you going on your way. Welcome aboard and happy beading.
