If you had shown me this photo when I was 17, first starting to work with this clay, and said these would come from my work table one day, I would not have believed you.

These are beads that I would have adored in any bead shop and now I make them!

If you ever doubt yourself, just keep going, keep making.

So beads are in full production.

Do you have any display ideas? The beads have to be ready to be sold individually but a flat display is not an option.

Clarification: these beads are going to be dropped off at a bead store locally and they want me to come up with a display if possible. The beads sold individually rather than in sets. But also, they don't have a lot of counter space so ideally the display would be vertical.

Cleveland, Tennessee, afternoon adventure.

I'll probably add more photos today, this is such a neat place.

The last of their kind!

New patterns are coming so I'm using up the last of these canes. Most of the hooks listed are the very last of their kind.

I'm so excited to be moving into a new era of designs and I can't wait to show you.

Love Handle artisan crochet hook, for beauty and comfort. Share some love with your working hands, they will appreciate the feel, weight and design of this hook. Large Handles are known to alleviate fatigue and allow you to enjoy your crochet longer.

It's the end of an era.

The last Dragonfly's Brother crochet hook sold. I have very little of the pattern left and it will be going to making beads, so it was the very last one.

I have made this pattern twice over the years and sold a few hundred hooks dressed in this little happy little bug.

Goodbye for now little bug. Perhaps another version of your will exist in the future.

Okay, okay, you have to admit that it's really fun to crochet with hooks that match the yarn.

Nothing says you need help like impulse buying a vending machine.

Yes. A vending machine.

I'm hoping to fill it with art!!! I'll figure something out, I always do.

ALL shipping is done!!!

So now what am I going to do?

If you guys buy more hooks or yarn, then I get to do more shipping. (Just saying).

Anyhoo, I'll also be adding beads to the shop once I've made a good variety for a drop.

Thank you citizens of Madlandia one and all!

You know the reviews are fake when they refer to the "crochet needles" lol.

Shopping for crochet hook bases when I ran across this gem.

I hope you enjoy watching projects come to life because it is going to get really hands on over here while we build a clay army of canes and designs.

"We" is myself and my daughters who are learning and growing in skill with polymer clay. It's so much fun.
