The Craft & Hobby Show was back in Rosemont, Illinois this year...mmm, I love the fries at the Hyatt. The construction at the ex-Sofitel, now Hilton, not so much.
Loved the lighted signs in the Beadalon booth - this red necklace is one of my favorite wire designs. I made my own twisted wire jump rings and attached the big dangles for a charm bracelet effect. Complete instructions are available in the
Beadalon Design Workshop.
This is my friend Frances with my little guy on her back. I should have moved the cover off of his head for this pic, but nobody wants to wake a sleeping baby!
Here I am with Suzann Sladdick Wilson, owner of
Beadphoria, with one of her students, Ashley. One of my favorite parts of the show is meeting up with friends old and new!

Candie Cooper, Margot Potter and I got to catch up at the show. Candie's working on a cool new project, which you must check out: Simply Screen Blog. I also had a chance to peep Margot's new book, Bead Chic, at the show. It's lovely and inspiring.

Wyatt White made these gorgeous wire-wrapped pendants with Beadalon's new square and half-round wire. They also introduced special chain maille jump rings at the show.
