Typically I am not one to make holiday themed items, but this year those ideas kept knocking so I decided to let them in. Thanks for taking a look, I really enjoyed making these:

Thank you for featuring my acorn Melanie! I'm thrilled to be along side some of my favourite bead makers!

I'm a bit slow on the holiday themed beads this year, hopefully I'll have some new next week, but here's a set available in my shop :)
