Hi, All
First, for anyone having any problems bringing up the freePatternWizard pattern creation software by using the top drop-down menu, feel free to Take This Link
Our showcase has been updated. If you've previously uploaded a showcase in the past, please check to see if it's been posted; meanwhile, if you want to submit one (or another one, if you've already posted before), feel free to do so!
Also note we now have an additional (optional) assembly page for the freePatternWizard. This is for larger pieces that have multiple pages. Much smaller patterns won't need this.

Im Anita from Illinois. Ive been beading now for 28 years mostly 3D beading. Ive been doing jewelry for about 8 yrs on and off and never worked with a beading program. I usually draw my patterns freehand but it takes so much time. Im here to share my works and and learn to use this tool to make designing easier and to help anyone in any way i can.
De'Andrea,
Ouch, the four days off must be nice, but what a hassle to work the other four days! Especially when you have to drive 50 miles each way, yuck. I hope working nights is at least quiet?
I worked a sort of split shift many years ago. It was a horrible job, but the hours were pretty decent. 11:45am to 8:30pm (dinner was 3/4 of an hour and not included in the hourly count, so that was the reason there was an extra 15 minutes beforehand and an extra 30 minutes after). It was a not too bad schedule for those who didn't like to get up early, but so inefficient with the way they did things! They ordered a 15 minute meeting before starting work. Then we'd all work and you had to work up until exactly 8:30. Some people's managers understood that if you got a call at 8:30, you wouldn't be off the phone until at least a few minutes later, so they'd allow them to be "offline" from the phones for the last few minutes. But my manager was a stickler. She wanted me to be available until 8:30 on the dot. So the next shift had arrived and would be goofing off, slowly getting on the phones and most of my shift would be "offline," but I was expected to be there "online" until 8:30 and I'd almost ALWAYS get a complicated call at 8:30. But then, my phone was one of the few available.
I was SO glad to leave that place!
It's really nice to have money to spend on crafty things.
I can totally relate! There's always some
beautiful beads or yarns that call out, especially in the middle of
the night. "Buy me!" One cannot resist the call! 
I love that you worked in square stitch, too, especially how you developed your own technique!
LOL, I wasn't inventive enough to work with two
beads at a time, so I just went the plodding old one bead at a time
way. It took forever, but I did love ending up with something that
looked like it was loom beaded!There weren't very many things around for beading in the past...some of my first seed beads were from large plastic packages, sigh. No bead stores anywhere in my area. Even the big box craft stores came much later. Only place to buy anything was a department store, and most didn't carry beads.
That's so cool how you have four looms!
I forget...is retirement in your near future? I
hope you can be using all four looms at once when that happens!
Love the details of the turquoise in the middle and the loop.
The star is gorgeous as it is, but I think the
details that aren't standard really help to make a piece,
particularly this one. Anytime you need help with PDFs...I'm not an expert, but I do know enough to be dangerous.
LOL.All RIGHT...45 more lines!
So psyched for you! Argh, working in the ends...beading, crochet, knitting...it's so tedious! At least doing the actual work is fun, but the ends are just too annoying.
When working a beading project I try to get a few rows up so no worries about crossing ends woven in, which makes it a LITTLE less tedious. Still is a chore, though.
Kathy,
Hi. The current version does have an issue regarding color choosing. I have corrected it in the next version that will be turned on in the next few weeks.
Let me look through your notes (thanks for all this!) and I'll get back you tomorrow regarding if I think this is related to the problem that I fixed. I may have you try testing the next version to see if it helps you.
