A Newsletter and a Mystery UPDATED LOTS

The October newsletter for Bedecked and Beadazzled is out, full of class news plus the reveal of the Christmas mystery class Ruth Schmuff will do.  That Ruth is always full of surprises!  Who would have thought a Christmas stocking would be one of her mystery pieces....

UPDATE #5:  Ruth works the pears.  I think the only thing unfinished is the little partridge himself.
