| | Celebrate National Beading Week! | | 2017 marks the third annual National Beading Week, sponsored by The Beadworkers Guild in the UK. The Guild proclaims this week, July 29‑Aug 6, 2017, to be a time to celebrate our passion for beads, to encourage others to start beading, and to support bead businesses around the country. Most of the festivities are based in the UK, but there is no reason that we cannot celebrate on our side of the pond! Let's celebrate! |

| | Traveling with your beadwork | | Many of us like to bead when we travel, but trying to organize our beads to take along when we have a limited amount of space can be a struggle.
