Ada Demonstrates Memory Thread While Ruth Makes Trees UPDATED

Ada Hayden of Eye Candy just wrote a fun article about the use of DMC's memory thread on various Eye Candy designs. It's full of ideas and pretty things to boot!

Ruth Schmuff shows off two styles of beaded fur trees on her Melissa Shirley Christmas Village class.  One style of tree even has "snow"!  (By the way, this is part of her Mystery with a Twist series, which is a mail order class done in small lessons over a long period of time.)

UPDATE:  Fluffy snow can be different, right?
