MT Sue's Creations

Hello my name is Susan Dodson I am a single mom of two sons . My family moved to Polson, Montana in 1984 when my dad retired from the Navy and I have lived here off and on since. 

 

I have been doing crafts for 40 years as a hobby which includes crocheting, cross stitch, embroidery, quilting, painting, and beadwork (French beading, brick stitch, basket weave, 1 and 2 needle applique.) I taught French beading at the Salish Kootenai College in the Spring of 2008 where I received my BA in Business (2008), AAS Office Education (1997), AAS Dental Assisting (1997) and my Certificate in Fashion Merchandising from Scranton, PA. In April 2014 & April 2015 I taughtNative American Basic Beading at Flathead Valley Community College. In the Fall of 2015 Teaching different Beading classes at the Adult Learning Center in Missoula, Mt.

 

I got started crocheting and doing embroidery when I was 5 yrs old with my great grandma. How I got hooked on beading was when I stopped by to visit my mom at one of her beading classes in college her instructer asked me if I was visiting and I said yes she told me if you visit you bead when I told her I had no supplies she loaded me up and I have been beading ever since.

The love of creating beautiful, one of a kind jewelry (barrettes, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, purses), pictures, weddings (corsages, table runners, hair accessories, flower arrangements, tiaras) and etc. has made me decide to go and start my own business.
