Before starting Ready to Bead, I would spend many hours a day beading. The very first thing I learned was from Rubys book Beading with Ruby, then I found Bead-Patterns.com and fell in love with the patterns that Sandra D. Halpenny would put up on the site and started working my way through all of her designs. Ive yet to get them all made, but its still a goal. I spent a whole summer teaching my mother how to bead and thats when I knew this wasnt just a craft for me.
