Strange (Not Odd) Friday Lanyard Workshop

I just got a message from our friend and supporter, Robby Bennett, who says he needs lanyards for his sold out Magic Show at the Bayou Theatre on Saturday, March 6. He will have a display in the lobby of the theatre before and between shows. That means we need to gather at my house this Friday (even though it is an Even and not an Odd day). Let me know with a comment or an email if you can be there.


Let's get together and do some beautiful and magical work!


We had two big events last weekend. I'm still waiting on photos but wanted to post at least some teaser information now!

Big Weekend for Beading

We are emerging, slowly but surely, from our winter, mini-hibernation.

We have two big events on the weekend horizon. First, a shout out to all you southern Californians who have had beading on the mind, but no way to get to Texas. This one is for you (click on the link below for a map and details).


Southern California Lanyard Workshop
Friends of Erin (and Quin, Shannon, and Loren) are invited to stop by Quin's house and make lanyards this Friday afternoon. They'll have wine and cheese and chocolate to encourage your beading. Shannon and Loren will show everyone what to do!!! Shannon also promises to whip up something for dinner!!
February 19, 2010 5:30 PM

Also, Quin would probably appreciate an e-mail (email at qthornburg@gmail.com) if you think you might go.

Thanks to Lara W. we will host a Bead-A-Thon in The Woodlands for SIX HOURS on Saturday.

NCL Lanyard Bead-A-Thon in The Woodlands
The National Charity League will gather for a lanyard-making marathon!

Because of the Bead-A-Thon, I can't host my usual Odd Friday Workshop this week. Let's tentatively postpone until the following Friday (February 26).
