In 2006, I launched The Well Done Experience with my mom, Berti Freed. Our mission was to encourage and inspire everyone to access their creative potential, whether or not they believed themselves to be capable. Our classes were about more than just technical instruction - we wanted our students to understand and feel the joy, confidence and relaxation that comes from creating something beautiful with their own hands. Over the course of a decade we taught, lectured and demonstrated bead crochet at countless events in the United States and abroad.
You can still find our DIY kits, beading supplies and more in our Etsy Shop.
Our How-To guide, originally published by St. Martin's Press in 2012, provides step-by-step instruction as well as comprehensive information about materials and tools, as well as the tips and tricks that will take you from novice to pro. Detailed instructions accompany 27 unique designs, and various musings throughout are meant to enlighten and inspire.
Our kits are designed to ensure your success, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned crafter. Each kit comes with everything you need to complete a necklace, including beads, thread, crochet hook and instructions. Both the kit and finished piece make for an excellent gift!
For years we struggled with the frustration of traveling with our beading projects. So we designed the perfect system: String-Me-Along workspace and storage bags! Ideal for travel, but just as useful at home, String-Me-Along has interchangeable Project Exchange Bags for keeping all of your projects organized.
We have spent years assembling and curating a collection of quality products to use for bead crochet. We only sell products we use ourselves, so you know you're always getting the best.
We love to share our experience, educate others about bead crochet and teach groups. If you would like to schedule an event with us or inquire about a personalized event, please let know!
