Thank you all for your help!!! That something finally clicked and I was able to get not one, but two made last night! It was a combination of everyone's suggestions and helpful hints as well as me being able to bead uninterrupted that gave me my "Ah-ha!!" moment. I really do appreciate it!

It's that time again. Artbeads is having their Dollar Days sales.... I know most have probably already hit up the Labor Day sales, but this has got to be my favorite sale! You can't really beat the $1, $2, and $3 prices lol. It's not only beads that are on the sales either 😁

I just ordered some cylin beads as there is a 50% discount running at the moment, I’ve not tried these ones but i have tried some alternative Delica sized beads ‘FGB’s that come in the 25g bags that have been great to help buffer out my delica supplies. Anyone tried Cylin Beads?

Hey everyone! I’m Emily Harper from the US. So glad to be here with you all! I was constantly losing good bead stitch diagrams, colorway combinations, and tutorial notes scattered across random sketchbooks, phone memos, and screenshots. Now I keep everything in one canvas: - Project = Month (e.g., September - Beadweaving & Design Sprint) - To-do = Pieces to stitch (Trial brick stitch pattern, tension check, weekly community challenge due date) - File = Best-performing pattern charts and tutorial reference links saved - Beadwork & Stitch Calculators = For testing out row counts, thread tension, and seed bead counts without the guesswork - Structured Design Inventories = The core engine for tracking color palettes, material supplies, and project blueprints - XAMPP & Local SQL = Where custom pattern databases and crafting logs are configured and backed up locally - Floment AI = Takes my rough idea "peyote stitch autumn leaf earrings with metallic accents" and drafts 3 colorway options + step-by-step stitch counts in 2s

Thanks to @Rachelle LeRoy opening the door, I will be interviewing Planbead founder Alexander Monneret next Wednesday, Sept 16 at 11:15am CDT!!
