It's Day 22 of March Meet The Maker and the theme is: Best Seller.

My main income is selling digital beading patterns and beading books and my best sellers are all my Geometric Beadwork instructions and especially my Beaded Stars.

I first began beading these back in 2001 and began selling the instructions about 6 years later.

I recently relaunched completely revised instructions as well as some for Advanced Geometric Stars and it's been fun seeing them being enjoyed by a whole new wave of beaders.

Today I was tired and so skipped out on a proposed trip to Philadelphia and instead had some much needed sleep followed by a lazy start to the day full of food, drink and good conversation.

This evening was filled with a visit to the New York Bead Society and a talk by Floor Kaspers on the history of bead making in Germany.
