Black Friday is in full swing today… I have to admit I hate all the hoopla and anxiety it creates.  

So, I’m quietly announcing a Holiday Sale in my Etsy shop that will extend through next week.  There are some great holiday favorites, like The Phoenix – Deco for the Holidays, and the Peace for Christmas Star pattern.

Making its debut in the shop is the 3 of Hearts Pendant – an easy even count peyote stitch that uses a slide tube.  This has been a popular class since it was introduced earlier this year in time for Valentine’s Day.  But my fabulous students created some beautiful pieces that had meaning for them.   One of my favorites is by Cyndi Gancarz, who used colors of beads that symbolized the birth months of her siblings for a Mother’s Day gift!

I hope you’ll take the time to browse the 3 of Hearts – Student Gallery and see some of the other beauties!

As for me, I’m going to spend the day beading and finishing up my gifts for the holidays.  Hope you take some time for yourself today…

Happy Beading!
