Well it looks like the issue is starting to land in mailboxes and I wanted to give subscribers a quick heads up... Be sure to page through that catalog that's included in the plastic bag - there's a bonus article in there!
I can't share alternate covers this time because there really weren't any... we knew we were going with ornaments and we knew we were featuring one of Ruth's saluting ornaments - so other than a few different configurations - they are all pretty much the same.
If you read the editor's column, you know what my must-do project was... I couldn't even wait for the issue to be published! And now that I got back in the swing of things, I'm sidelined again... My house got flooded and my saw was almost completely under water. It's drying on my front porch, but I haven't tried to turn it on yet. The saw table is a lovely shade of rust... But my coasters survived! (Now if only I had a coffee table to protect!)
My other favorites projects are the inlay box (although I admit I have yet to try my hand at creating an inlay project), the saluting ornaments, and Sue Mey's cross. I'm not a huge fan of word art, but I think Leldon's creations are delightfully different and I might make the Be Cheerful one some day.
So now it's your turn.... which projects have you eager to get in the shop? Will you be making Christmas gifts or craft show items this year? I'm always eager to hear what you guys think so we can improve future issues!
