Welcome to Beady Shenanigans! This group serves as a direct line to Jeanette Shanigan, should you have any questions or comments about her books, patterns, or kits. It is also a place to share experiences and pictures of the various pieces. Swaps, special offers, and other beady fun are also possibilities. Be sure to check the files occasionally for FREE patterns!

There is a bi-weekly discussion topic. Please contribute, as we can all learn from each other!

In 2005 we completed a breast cancer donation project, in which 23 members each contributed a 3"x3" beaded square. This project was donated to the annual Bead and Button Breast Cancer Auction in 2005, but was auctioned via the BeadBabe web site. We earned $500 for breast cancer in the auction!!!! Check out PHOTOS for pictures of the individual squares.

In 2006 we completed another project for donation to Bead Artists Against Breast Cancer. This one had a floral motif and is titled "A Bouquet of Beaded Flowers in Memory." Thirty-one people participated. Squares were due April 1, 2006. Check out PHOTOS for pictures of individual squares. This piece was auctioned at the Bead and Button Show on June 17 for $1,025!!!!

We have done a new group project that was donated to Bead Artists Against Breast Cancer at the Bead and Button Show Social and Auction in June 2008. It's a beaded aquarium! The deadline for aquatic submissions was January 15, 2008. So many pieces were created and donated that three aquariums were made!
