Ascensions ‘Self-Care’ Basket Bracelet Kit Designs & Tips for Creativity!
We are happy to support our friends at Ascension All Saints Hospital Foundation and their 12 Days of Giving fundraising event this holiday season. We added creativity to the ‘Self-Care’ basket in the form of an easy to create stretch bracelet using lava beads–perfect to add essential oils if desired–for an even better self care effect! For more information about the 12 Days of Giving, visit: https://ascension-wi.regfox.com/12-DAYS-OF-GIVING-WOMENS-HOLIDAY-CELEBRATION
Funky Hannah’s owner, Amanda Cosgrove Paffrath, designed 5 different bracelets. Packaged with the lava beads separated for easy identification, you can design the bracelet however you’d like given the beads provided in your kit. If you’d like to mirror what we designed, the photos below should assist you in that! The bracelets are 7″ by design, but we have included extras of the small beads – so you can add length if you need your bracelet longer and in case you drop a bead!
Never made a stretch bracelet before? Check out the 3 minute video Amanda made to share some tips & tricks she uses when she creates.
Open Bead Night! First Tuesday of Every Month 6-9pm
Our ‘Open Bead Night’ tradition continues! For 23 years we’ve gathered on the FIRST TUESDAY of every month to create in community, laugh, listen to good music, give advice and support related to our bead work and sometimes life. We meet (following recommendations of physical distancing & masked) in the glass fusing studio space at Hot Shop Glass, 239 Wisconsin Ave, downtown in Racine. Park in the convenient neighboring Shoop Parking Ramp.
PLEASE RSVP so we can arrange the space properly. info@funkyhannahs.com Thank you.

Cooking with Funky
You asked for it! Here they are!
Every year we invite the Loose Bead Society of Greater Milwaukee to a private shopping/cocktail/hors d’oeuvres party when they’re in town for their Spring Retreat. While this year we aren’t doing the shenanigans the same way, we did make our Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa dip for the gang in our Make & Take class. Here’s a re-post from a few years ago….Tracy took them off my handwritten recipe cards and made them all fancy pants! Enjoy!
Here are the recipes!
Welcome the Loose Bead Society!
This weekend, March 5th – 8th, Downtown Racine is thrilled to welcome 60 creative folks from The Loose Bead Society of Greater Milwaukee to our area for the nineteenth (?) year! The weekend boasts amazing workshops in jewelry making, time to work creatively while enjoying a lovely view of the lake, a marketplace of select vendors and several activities at Hot Shop Glass, glass fusing & glass blowing workshops– plus a pop up bead boutique!
So be ready for the bead ladies downtown Racine! I’ve already recommended all my favorite restaurants so watch for them! Say hi & thank them for being on the forefront in seeing the coolness of downtown for an event!
