I used to include this category under needlecrafts, because most beading is done with a needle, but in the past few years this area has evolved into an entire new field.  It is important to highlight that even though beadwork can be a part of jewelry - meaning you can bead pieces of jewelry like you have seen here in this site with Peyote stitch - Jewelry Making is a world of its own.

We have added a section with Beading articles and Jewelry Making articles as well.

Here in Panama holidays usually mean lots of food, lots of days off from work, and lots of kids, teenagers and adults hanging around with nothing to do except watch TV.

If you take some time before the holidays, you can program a few fun activities to keep everyone interested and have some good family time together.   If you are single, you can take advantage of the decorating ideas or the fun games to spend time with close friends.

I have included the general holidays, but later on I will add more specific ones to the US, Panama, Latin America and Europe and of course the different faiths.
