This year she will exhibit her porcelain art, scrapbooks and sewing work.
Her North Bendigo home is full of her own creations, including countless porcelain plates and beaded pieces.
Mrs Beecham's artistic interests keep her very busy.
"I'll never know why people are bored, because I'm never bored," Mrs Beecham said.
Her interest in arts and crafts started as a little girl. She remembers being fascinated in the decorative plates in her parents' loungeroom.
Mrs Beecham will be one of many creatives competing at the Bendigo Show on Friday and Saturday next week.
Entry for adults is $15, pensioners $10, children up to 15 are $6 and children under 5 are free.
Other than arts and crafts, the show will have an animal nursery, horse events, cookery, floral and photography exhibits.
