Happy Monday! How are you getting on with January? I have officially decided that it is my *least* favourite month of the year so I am glad we are past the halfway point! Onwards to the Spring now please. I’m ready for a little sunshine!

Let’s kick off this week with some beautiful handmade red Art Beads. Betsi shared some beautiful creations that she found online.
