Beading down!

I conquered beading today. My day began with a trip to Michaels, one of my very favorite stores, unfortunately my two year old son does not share my love. As soon as the automatic doors opened he screamed, "I DON'T LIKE IT, LETS GET OUTTA HERE!" After a quick detour to the toy section I made a turn towards what I came for... beads. Martha's beading section of her Craft Encyclopedia is filled with little beaded blooms and bugs. I chose to take on a little bumble bee. So I picked out some black and gold glass beads. Martha's directions are really easy to follow and it only took a few moments, I think it would be really cute buzzing though a little girls braid.
