Planning on doing any travel this season? If so, and even if the extent of your travel is from the bead room to the living room, you'll want a copy of this wonderful (and very portable) new book by Suzanne Cooper, Have Beads Will Travel
I'd like to know how Suzanne was able to cram so much good stuff into such a tiny little volume.

In only 33 pages and in a book measuring 8 inches by 6 inches, there are enough great beading projects to keep you busy for a very long time. Amulet Bags are done in an Even count Tubular Peyote and bracelets are done in Odd Count Flat Peyote, with very clear and understandable directions for each stitch are included.

The patterns are, as always, amazing. Each one is shown in a flat (and very easy to read) graph format as well as a realistic format image and a photograph of the completed piece. Each pattern makes either an Amulet Bag and matching bracelet or pair of earrings. All of them are gorgeous!

Ad this title to your library. It's perfect for those occasions when you'll want to grab your beads and go - whether you're going to the ends of the Earth or the end of the sofa!
