The past few months have been busy.... even crazy and now they are over. September, I worked all month on our new upcoming classes as well as many new pieces of jewelry and 300 pairs of earrings for upcoming shows. Then October was on us, class planning was put on hold. I grabbed my beads, jewelry and luggage and headed to Dallas, Texas. I spent the month of October doing jewelry shows/craft fairs and home parties. Drove back to New Mexico in a U-haul (another story for another day) and jumped right into November. The first week of November we expanded into the second half of our store with new beads, more handmade jewelry and now a new line of other handmade gifts. The second week of November we packed up for, my favorite show, the annual Christmas Jubilee, held here in Ruidoso. The last couple of weeks had us putting the store back together, driving to the Albuquerque airport to send a friend back home,Thanksgiving, and some school activities. So without further ado, here is the new line of classes!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">2012 Classes</span><br /></div><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">Basic Stringing - This class is for anyone that would like to learn how to make their own jewelry or improve their skills.

It is exhausting but it's equally rewarding!<br /><br />This will be the first summer with our coffee bar and I have already learned two major things. First, more ice is needed! Second, another blender is a must. Cold drinks are flying out the door. As they should, they're delicious. Little bar - BIG flavor. Next week we are adding even more new flavors and I can't wait to share....and sample! YUM.<br /><br />I look forward to meeting all my new customers as well as getting to visit with some old friends.

In this class you will learn how to create a variation of the decorative “Carrick bend” knot. This strong knot was used by sailors, but it can also be found as a design motif at Ormonde Castle in Ireland. First you will practice making your knot with dyed hemp cord, then you will translate what you learn to copper wire and beads in order to make a pair of earrings or a pendant. Cord, wire and beads will be provided.<o:p></o:p></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1469719429815712882-3468572262451616735?l=beadstobeauty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>hkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593859769844954285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469719429815712882.post-6514531864391362722009-08-19T11:29:00.004-06:002009-08-19T11:38:09.127-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uIaXdMch-PY/Sow4atifjgI/AAAAAAAAAFo/EPo2SG3k-2s/s1600-h/Embellished+Cover+Image.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uIaXdMch-PY/Sow4atifjgI/AAAAAAAAAFo/EPo2SG3k-2s/s200/Embellished+Cover+Image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371730487098183170" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size:100%;" >Learn to turn large stone, lampwork glass, or polymer clay beads into one-of-a-kind embellished pendants using wire, seed beads, charms, pearls or small stone beads.

I am very proud to share the fun I have daily, with my new bead store, Beads to Beauty. Some of you already know that I opened a handmade jewelry store mid October '08 in Ruidoso, NM but grew out of the small store rather quickly. So, thankfully February offered new beginnings. I am now located inside The Four Seasons Mall at 2500 Sudderth #3, Ruidoso, NM 88345. We offer handmade jewelry to go or while you wait, if you want to design your own. We have a wide selection of beads and we get in new inventory weekly! Starting March 2009 we will offer classes for adults and seperate classes for kids. We also offer bead parties so girls can get together for a day or night out! If you are interested in our parties, classes or if you have any other questions, please email me at h.kingmsore@gmail.com<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Handmade Jewelry by:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">King's Ransom Designs<br /><br /></span><span style="font-style: italic;">A Heather Kingsmore Collection</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1469719429815712882-8491306967279175494?l=beadstobeauty.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>hkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593859769844954285noreply@blogger.com0
