New Year's Beading Tradition

If you require certain beads or beading components for your big project and can't make a substitution or get to the bead store before New Year's day, don't let that stop you from starting your beading project! Gather all the items you have, even if it's just the beading needle, thread and bead pattern. If you have none of the other supplies, then at least thread the needle and read through the pattern. You could take time to mark rows on the pattern or to gather tools and look through the beads in your stash for some accent beads to work into the larger project. You've taken the first step toward your new beading project - the rest, including beads, tools and time to bead, will come easily now!
