With the publication of my new book and so many exciting opportunities coming up in the future, I decided that it was the perfect time to “freshen up” the website.

More news, more pictures, more links to resources and friends and, believe it or not, I’ve decided to tiptoe into the social media universe. (read Brave New World, below.)

Who says you can’t teach an old dog….? Look around! As always, I’m happy to hear what you think.

If I decide to leave my cozy summer cabin in Maine in August ( and miss my husband’s birthday this year! ), it must be for a good reason and Stitches Midwest IS a good reason. Betsy Beads will again be available for sale in the fabulous Stitches Market where I’ll be doing book signings and demos. Even more Market vendors will have kits with all of the fibers, beads and findings for creating some of the most popular projects from the book. Look for a large listing of these vendors in the XRX booth as you enter the Market. When I’m not teaching classes or in the Market, look for me in one of the hotel’s many relaxing nooks and crannies that are perfect for knitting and making new friends.

Hope you’ll find me and say hello. More info and class registration here: Stitches MIDWEST
