Having moved and redecorated several times, Beverly finally became skilled enough at interior design that a well-established firm offered her a job.
Bev also was interested in portrait sketching and made drawings of friends and relatives. (The sketch of Nick’s Mom is featured in Chapter 2.) she also painted two oil portraits. She and Nick discovered an all-consuming hobby in stained glass. A large number of their projects decorated one home and in addition, several other pieces were sold. An original design is pictured in Chapter 6.
Beverly learned to knit in sixth grade and it became a continuing interest. She admits that one of her first sweaters for skinny Nick ended up fitting a very portly older man. She learned early: guage is important.
Several years ago she started a small jewelry business and sold jewelry she had designed to a local department store for over a year. From there she began importing damaged jewelry items from all over the US. She would repair and sell these to local businesses; the most prominent one was CONTINENTAL Airline employees.
For twelve years she taught a children’s weekly Bible class and at one point wrote a children’s curriculum Biblically based, aimed at instilling “worth belonging and competence” in 4-5 year olds.
In the past several years her interest have turned toward spiritual pursuits and banding together with others to pray for the future of our nation.view less
