This weekend I'll go to a beading convention again, www.facettsthlm.se. I had my shop with me the last time at Facett.STHLM, but this time I'm "only" a participant. That will be nice for a change. Actually, it has already been nice. You sell a lot during one such weekend, but it requires weeks of preparations for a shop like mine that isn't designed to be portable. Now I've had time to improve the webshop instead. Anyway, I'll be there on Friday afternoon/evening and the whole day on Saturday at least. I haven't decided about Sunday yet, that depends on how tired I get of driving back and forth (I don't have a hotel room this time). There will be contests and workshops and a lot of bead-crazy people to talk to, so I expect it to be fun and inspiring.

I will attend a workshop on polymer clay bead making. I simply can't seem to limit the number of techniques I want to learn :-) Last year I saw a lampwork demo at Facett, and look where that has got me. Fortunately polymer clay equipment isn't nearly as expensive as lampwork equipment.
