Another December 2000 Martha Stewart Living project I made a few years ago: the pipecleaner tree. December 2000, now that was an issue. It’s like three times thicker than this year’s. Anyway, here’s the picture from the magazine for comparison’s sake.

and here’s mine

Yeah. I made this whole advent calendar to go with it, where every day you got a new tiny ornament out of a numbered matchbox drawer. I made these little tiny beaded garlands, little wrapped presents, etc. The idea was so good, but the execution was just not there. It does not seem to have survived the junk seive of the 3 moves we’ve made in the last 15 months. I did keep the tree, though.
