Bead Making

Hi,

Just resent I have learn how to do bead working. The type of bead working that I'm learning is Native American. The person who taught me how to bead is a Native American who I work with at the school. It is fun to make beaded items. The needle and the beads are very small. Once I get the needle on the string and then I can put the beads on and start making what I'm going to make. I have students ask me if they can have what I'm making. A couple of the students have picked out the colors that I should use next. I think they enjoy seeing someone that know how to knit learn how to bead. Mine oldest niece pick out the colors that I will use next. It is fun learning how to bead. I the way I was taught how to bead for the first time was on a loom. I'm still using the loom. When you use the loom you can put on as many strings as you want, then when you use the beads you only put on one less bead than string on the loom. I guess that is it for now.

The School Year

Hi everyone,

Well the school year is almost out for the summer. I think that the students that I work with are ready for the summer. We get out on the 18th of June. I know that I'm ready but I have been looking a summer job. But if I can not find a summer job I will be volunteering my time at the Great Falls Discovery Center and at the local library where I live. I like volunteering but it does not pay. I have a lot of fun working with the kids this past school year. The kids like working with me for the hour in the morning and the two hours in the afternoon. They also like seeing me during the school time hours. The last two weeks I have been helping out in the school library with making sure that the new books get ready to be on the selves for the kids to check out and read. The school's librarian likes all the help that I have been doing. I guess that is it for this post.
