And we’re back. Don’t you hate it when you make an announcement to the world, and then you can’t follow through because life gets in the way? Yup. It’s been one of those weeks! My publisher sent me the printed pages of my craft book to edit, mark up, and send back… so I had to read through 192 pages of crafts and instructions to find any mistakes. But I am ridiculously relieved to say that that was the FINAL edit and I won’t see those pages again until it goes to print this summer. Crazy and so exciting!

Have you started listening to Christmas music yet?? I loooooove Christmas music. As soon as it starts to get cold outside I pop my favourite mixed Christmas CD into the car stereo and play it non-stop until New Years. Even if it starts to snow in October, I’m excited for the excuse to play my favourite Christmas songs!!

These melted bead ornaments are SO MUCH FUN. I could get addicted to making these! Using simple pony beads, you can make cookie cutter shapes, beautiful free handed patterns, sun catchers, or anything you like! They almost look like little stained glass works of art. Simply beautiful!

These beaded pipe cleaner pumpkins are SO CUTE and super simple to make! You only need a two basic supplies: orange pony beads, and pipe cleaners. That’s it! If you saw our beaded pipe cleaner Indian corn from a few weeks ago, the process is pretty similar. Except with these pumpkins, you pull apart the pipe cleaners to make a pumpkin shape – easy peasy! Before you know it, you’ll have your very own pumpkin patch!

These beaded pipe cleaner Indian corn are so adorable!  They’re really easy to put together and are the perfect addition to your Fall/Thanksgiving craft line up. These mini corn are cute, colourful and very inexpensive to make – you can usually find the supplies at the dollar store! There are sooooo many fun things you can make with pipe cleaners and pony beads! I’ll link to a few of our favourite crafts down below.
