Sometimes a colour palette simply isn’t finished with you.

Last year I created my Little Christmas Beaded Book of the Nutcracker, and I loved its soft pink, mint and gold colours far too much to leave them there. They’ve now returned in a new collection of miniature stockings featuring the Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy and Rat King.

The Rat King presented a particular challenge because I’ve never been entirely convinced by him. My solution was to make him as sweet as possible. He is undeniably cuter now, although I’m afraid he still hasn’t managed to overtake the Nutcracker or Sugar Plum Fairy in my affections. Which stocking is your favourite?

How is Arctic the penguin coming along? 🐧

Perhaps yours is nearly finished, halfway through, or still waiting patiently beside your bead mat. Wherever you’re up to, we’d love to have a little peek.

Share a photo of your progress or finished penguin in the comments below. We can’t wait to see all those colourful hats and lovely little faces!

September has now arrived… 🍂🐿️

I’m not quite ready for pumpkins and full-on autumn just yet (Christmas always, Autumn no lol), but I think these little squirrels are allowed out of the ThreadABead archives.

With the weather turning a little more changeable and that first hint of autumn starting to creep in, they feel rather perfect for this week — a tiny woodland project to bead while September decides what sort of weather it wants to give us. 😂

Are you starting to feel a little bit autumnal yet, or are you hanging onto summer for as long as possible?

Meet Arctic the Penguin, our newest little pocket of Christmas cuteness! 🐧

Wrapped up in a wonderfully bright hat and scarf, this cheerful chap is created with pe**te stitch and is beginner friendly too. He’ll make a lovely handmade decoration, a thoughtful little gift, or simply a very sweet addition to your festive beading.

Choose the pattern to bead him in your own colours, or pick up the component pack for everything you need to bring Arctic to life.

Shhh… there’s a little bead magic on the way ✨

We have two new patterns hidden. Any guesses what might be joining the ThreadABead collection very soon?

Take a close look, trust your beading instincts and pop your guesses in the comments. No peeking at anyone else’s answers!

A little trip into the ThreadABead archives today… 💧🌸

We think this little watering can has had rather a lot of work to do this summer! 💧☀️

After all the hot weather from the very hot summer this year, our gardens may be looking a little more brown than green by now — but at least this design will stay looking cheerful whatever the weather.

There’s still plenty of summer left… ⛵️☀️

And if you can’t quite manage an afternoon out on the water, there’s always the beady version!

Our little 3D Sail Boat is one of those designs that makes us want to dig out the blues, whites and reds and disappear into a good bit of beadwork for a while.

Who fancies setting sail? ⚓
