Hello,
I'm Robi Lynn. I am fairly new to the world of beading. I have been beading for almost two years now. My sister, Paula Adams, sat me down around Christmas of 2005 and gave me the basics to beading. (Now some of you may know Paula or of her and her designs. Paula has been beading for almost 20 years, has written a couple of books and has taught beading since 1988.) Anyway, after being taught the basics and starting out making christmas tree ball drapes, I finally expanded into designing or creating my own designs, the little hot air balloons featured on my site.
I hope that my designs will bring you as much pleasure as they have me. I so enjoy creating them. I am now exploring the wonderful world of special shapes and hope to be bring them to you as fast as I can design them and write the pattern. I have some exciting creations coming soon. I look forward to a long and lasting relationship with each and every one of you as my site continues to grow as new patterns are featured.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a native to New Mexico, born and raised. I have three grown children and 9 wonderful Grandchildren. They keep me very busy and I wouldn't have it any other way. My Grandchildren love to see the new balloons I have created when they come to visit and each one seems to have picked a favorite. I share my home with my four loving dogs, a chow chow, a aussie dingo mix, and two tiny chihuahuas who do not like sharing my lap with my beading. I am a two time breast cancer survivor and my beading was what helped me get through all my treatments.
I built Paula's web site for her and still maintain it for her. So after I started creating my little balloons Paula encouraged me to build my own web site. Our designs and color combinations are so different that between the two of us you are given a large variety of designs.
I am very honored to have been taught by one of the best and love the fact that my sister and I have this special bond through our beading. It has been such a pleasure to watch her working on a new design and see how it develops into one of those gorgeous 3D ornaments.
So browse through my site and enjoy. I look forward to bringing you more designs as they are finished. So grab your needles and your beads and let your beading take you up, up and away!
I want to say thank you to my entire family for all their loving support while I started off on my new adventure in the beading world. Without them this would not have been possible. A special thank you goes out to Paula who, with all her generosity and love gave me the willingness and love for beading as well as fulfilling a dream of my own, to have a web site that could not only bring in some extra income but provide me with countless hours of fun and enjoyment.
Thank you,
Robi Lynn
