I'm so tempted to go into my story from the beginning, but although interesting, it's quite lengthy so I'll ask my Ai assistant to help me make it more focused before posting.

However, I would like to tell, this part of the story, because as I had to pivot and rely on my MOoK motto once again, part of which is to, regardless of how down I am, too stay focused.

In this case the learnings came from losing all of my hard work, rebuilding my website and cleaning up social media platforms, I realized that my web hosting provider and I were not on the same page resulting in not only no longer getting traffic to my website, but also losing all of my data so I have to rebuild-oncee again.

Learning: Although I never liked the Corporate environment, I did learn a lot from working. There was this Spoke & Wheel mindset they were desperately trying to implement, which I thought of recently while rebuilding. So Google Workspace will be my main Hub, hosting and providing all of the tools I need to maintain and expand my business model. MOoK (blog/newsletter) is hosted on Google Sites, and Blogger is the main blogging platform.

I wish I had thought of it sooner, but that's my learning.

Vintage Peyote Stitch Bead Patterns are ONLY listed here for now and can be purchased by clicking on the link below each picture.

I uncovered a treasure trove of vintage beads, books, and buttons while organizing my supplies. I found several vintage Peyote stitch patterns, around 22 years old. Creating these seemingly simple patterns required knowledge of bead types that worked best for beaded bags. Pictured patterns required many beads, carefully chosen to avoid excess weight and to match the colors perfectly.

Surprisingly, these patterns are no longer available on selling platforms. Even if digitized, there's value in following the directions and sourcing the beads (or asking The Bead Stylist for help). Digitizing these patterns is challenging without expertise. However, you can create multiple bags in different colors from one base pattern.
