Winter is finally here in the UK I guess so If you like the white stuff, I hope you are out making snowmen (or snow bunnies as one of my neighbours has done on their wall!), sledging and making snow angels! The park near where I live was the busiest I have seen it since the summer; this is the view from the bottom of the hill (University of the Creative Arts in the background).

If you are not a fan, why not try some winter inspired embroidery? This would be a great time to get out these lovely iridescent snowflake sequins and work some seasonal stitching...

They are available in my shop if you are inspired! Click here. Also new in the shop this month are size 10 beading needles. Extra long, with a sharp point and long thin eye, they are great for those hand beading projects and sewing on sequins. Get yours here
