Bead Mags

Yesterday I was in a lousy mood. So, I went to the book store to pick up a magazine I had seen advertised. I left with a different one than intended (the other one can wait!). Beadwork presents, Favorite Bead Stitches. It is full of wonderful projects, I do not know where to start!

We made a pot luck salad lunch, all of our contributions were delicious. Then, sharing our projects and getting down to our beading, it was great! Having a beading circle of friends is the best. Wendy is working on a Muse. Her piece is really gorgeous, very intricate beading. My hours involved in my Chalcedony piece do not compare to what Wendy is investing in her Muse.
