By Sheryl, on January 21st, 2012 Finally. New laptop. New news. A new shopping cart feature in the works. I hope to keep this web/blog much more updated than I did the first time around – sorry about that.
Not really teaching any classes at the moment, would like to later, but the focus right now is on SHOWS. I’ll be participating in several greater Lansing, Mid-Michigan and shoreline art fairs and shows beginning in April. I will definitely publish the details as soon as I have them-it’s a little early yet for some of the organizers to have all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed, when they are – You’ll be the first to know!
I know I’ve been talking about a shopping cart for awhile – hope to have that up and running by April 1. That’s my deadline for myself, and just a few weeks before I do my first show of the season. Wish me luck – keep checking back. It could happen sooner than either of us thinks!
I’m also concentrating on some quality display items, as well as competing the bits and parts for a couple of magazine submissions later this year.
So it’s gonna be a busy, happy, PROSPEROUS year of the Dragon for Cool Moon! Hope it will be for you too. I know I’m looking forward to the positive change…..
By Sheryl, on May 25th, 2011 I apologize to everyone for not having this site up to date and readable every day. You can still visit my blog at www.babblebead.blogspot.com. You’ll also find info regarding my classes and workshops on the Coyote Wisdom website. (see links on right). I still plan to do something with this site, someday. Look for a new page listing all of my summer shows and events coming soon.
Peaceful beading, Sheryl

You’re invited to a Cool Bead Open House!
Saturday, April 30, 2011Â
1:00PM – 4:00PM at Coyote Wisdom Bookstore and More
2432 N Grand River Ave
Lansing, Michigan 48906
517-323-1707
Coyote Wisdom is located just East of MLK Blvd., on the North side of Grand River.Â
Come enjoy an afternoon of fun, mini psychic readings, and check out Coyote Wisdom’s newest addition – BEADS! I’ve brought in a small, unique selection of the quality semi precious and glass beads that everyone enjoyed at my former place, as well as some of my finished jewelry pieces. I’ll be there all afternoon, doing beading technique demonstrations and creating custom pieces while people are enjoying Coyote’s calming atmosphere. And best of all: refreshments and FREE BEADS will be provided!  I would love to have you come and check out this wonderful new space. I’m having such a great time there….
Hope to see you on the 30th!
By Sheryl, on March 29th, 2011 As much as I love working on my blog – this website thing is taking me forever to remember and catch on to. Besides the fact that I still need to get my shopping cart set up.
Unfortunately – it doesn’t look like anyone important is finding me anyway. TONS of SPAM – no actual customer or interesting comments.Â
But just in case someone out there in beadland is reading and checking back from time to time – let me catch you up. My little shop is now set up at Coyote Wisdom – just a small space, much less than I had, I guess you could say I downsized. Mostly semi precious, with a little this and that thrown in. I’m glad to be able to show and sell my mystical pieces again. Folks at The Little Red Schoolhouse just didn’t get them – or were downright frightened by them (they’re faces people – not masks of evil). I am excited about this new start – along with working some hours in the store, which will make the customers comfortable and familiar with me, consequently wanting to buy my stuff. I’m already adding another full bar/rack of beads tomorrow – and it’s only been 3 weeks! Not alot of sales, but a whole lot of interest – and classes seem to be more popular too. Yay!
There are lots of things planned for the future – check out the classes and events page for more info.
I promise I’ll try to update this more often – and get that shopping cart up and running!
By Sheryl, on February 21st, 2011 First off – class info! Saturday, March 19th at Coyote Wisdom – Celtic Energies Bracelet workshop – 1pm to 3pm. $35.00 ALL supplies and instructions included, as well as a little bit of info about celtic knots. Should be fun! Call Coyote Wisdom to register – 517-323-1707.Â
I also thought I’d post a photo of a new piece I just finished. It’s for sale – $95.00 for the entire set – which is the necklace, a bracelet and earrings. The title of this piece- because I name them all, well ok, they name themselves – is “Crystal Blue Persuasion”. Very hard to photograph the hint of blue in the crystals I used for this one – it is very pretty though. Added those big, chunky Unicorne glass beads to the focal and WOW! I love this one.  
By Sheryl, on February 11th, 2011 Sorry it’s taking me just a little bit longer to keep this updated consistently. I REALLY need to get my sale page up and running, so that you all can use Paypal to purchase both beads AND jewelry should you choose to. But in the meantime, while we’re still working on it – PLEASE visit my Etsy site. I try to add items – either jewelry or beads – everyday, and there’s LOTS to choose from.  Being an on-line presence these days is very important, and I still need to figure out all the tricks to keeping myself seen AND heard! And although I know that probably 99% of my website readers aren’t LOCAL, I still want to remind everyone of my LOCAL presence too. Although I closed the BEAD SHOP portion of my store at The Little Red Schoolhouse www.lrshlansing.com, I still have a case FULL of my unique, finished jewelry pieces. Think Valentine’s Day! I also have a wonderul display of items for sale at The Lansing Art Gallery www.lansingartgallery.org  in downtown Lansing, as well as some pieces (and a few semi precious beads) on consignment right now at Coyote Wisdom www.coyotewisdomstore.com also in Lansing. So I’m OUT there, people! And as Kramer said – “I’m lovin’ every minute of it!” Please keep coming back to visit, I should have that sale page up and running by the end of the month!
