Tiny little things...

I've been busy making tiny little things lately...

 Stitch markers from some of the beads I made in the summer time...

 Beads that were going to be stitch markers but they're too big, so now they are for jewellery...

                             Tiny pendants that I thought would make a great Mother/Daughters set, 
                                   but that everyone tells me should be a necklace and earrings...

And my absolute favourite so far...little pinecone "pendants" that I'm totally going to use for gift tags this year.

I'm terribly neglecting my Christmas/Solstice making, but now that my last show of the year is over, I can get down to business.

What are you making now?  Are you working on gifts?

Meet some Makers...

Today I'm sharing a list of makers put together by Ann Tudor.  Ann is a glass worker (I want to say lampwork?) and has decided that she wants to support small business and individual makers this upcoming holiday season, and has shared her list on her blog here.  I thought it would be fun to share the same list, with pictures.

I'm going to start with Ann herself.  She's on Instagram, Facebook, 

and you can shop directly from her online store 

She makes these amazing ice cube martini picks, 

but I kind of want a bowl full of the cubes to put a candle in.  Wouldn't that sparkle
