Good Things

Okay why are there only 19 more days left in this year? What happened here? This year has flown by so fast.
Let me get to the point of the post. I was returning from the grocery store on Tuesday when I saw that a neighbor had put several boxes of magazines out for recycling. There were tons of old Martha Stewart magazines (pre-2002), I love Martha so I had to turn around to check out the stash. I actually had a subscription in 98 thru 99. I nabbed 2 MS Baby magazines and a few MS Living magazines. Of course I went back later in the day to grab a few more but they were to donate to my daughter's pre-K class. Good thing I got them on Tuesday because it rained all Wednesday and Thursday.
Check out these beaded ornaments I already made from the December 97/January 98 issue.


They actually just published this project on the M.S. website.

I had what I needed on hand except for the 20 gauge wire, I had some 24 gauge. It is not as heavy as the 20 gauge but I didn't have to do a craft store run so it is all good. The tricky part is getting the beads on the wire. I think these are so cute and super easy! Martha you get a gold star for this project. I love my C. I think I will resize the S, it is a little big. This one will be given to a child so I decided to use the multi-colored beads. I've been negligent on the craft posting so I promise to pick it up.
