Catherine Haedrich was introduced to the super fun world of beading by a knitter-cross-pollinator friend who offered a lesson in flat and circular peyote at her home. She initially tried to pass on taking-up another hobby, claiming, “I have yarn beyond life expectancy”.
She credits her early experiences with more advanced beaders for giving her insight into what was possible for the future. Her motto for why she beads is, “Woman cannot live on spreadsheets alone”. She is haunted by the fact she worked in the Czech Republic three years but was not yet a beader, a fact she has tried to make up for over the years with visits Jablonec Nad Nisou.
While her husband is supportive of her hobby he recently returned home from a business trip and asked, “Did you miss me?” When she hesitated (he had only been gone two days), he mumbled in defeat, “If only I were a bead”. Indeed, if only we all were beads!
This is the bracelet made by Catherine named 'Cupcake'. For information about classes taught by her, see her blog here (link).
