tiny beads

Hello everyone! How have the last few days been for you? Wonderful, busy, tiring; full of good food and drink and loved ones, I hope. And of course, beads. Did anyone receive any art beads for Christmas? I didn’t (sob!) – but I did treat myself to a new book which I’m excited to dive into! I also treated myself to a gorgeous pair of earrings. Handy being part of a group of super talented ladies here, isn’t it? 

Anyway, onto Amuse the Muse – and my last post of the year! Can you believe it?! Our last lot of tiny beads – or any beads – for 2015. 

Here’s to 2016 and a year full of creativity, fun – and beads!

And now for the BeadBlogger Links. Enjoy the end of the year everyone!

Chalkboard Paint Wine Bottles 
Save up your empty bottles and have fun creating arrangements of chalkboard paint wine bottles. This was such a fun project that Eileen plans to make lots more after the holidays.

Snap out of it, Jean! There’s beading to be done!
