🎅 “We’ll make a mini stocking,” she said…

Last Christmas, we designed a vintage Santa to fit our wooden box kit, and Lynsey had her heart set on making him into a little beaded stocking.

Then the designing started. Santa needed a splendid beard. Rosy cheeks. Holly around the cuff. A pair of golden beaded bells…

By the time he was finished, the “mini” stocking had become a bigger stocking and a completely new design. Very Lynsey. 😂❤️

If Santa was getting his own stocking, she was going to make sure he was dressed for the occasion!

He’s our star piece this Christmas, and we hope that kindly little face brings a smile each time you unpack him for the tree. ✨

❄️ A tiny winter scene, captured in beads…

Meet our NEW Snow Globe Charm! A little house nestled between snowy trees, a golden base and sparkling dangles finished with a delicate snowflake—there’s plenty to admire in this miniature winter world. ✨

We love the nostalgia of a snow globe, and this one brings that familiar Christmas charm to a beading project.

🎄✨ **Oh, we do LOVE a November pattern release!** ✨🎄

There's something extra special about this time of year, and we've been busy filling our little Christmas collection with all sorts of wonderful things! ❤️

We've got a lovely BIG release coming on **Monday 2nd November**, and we're so excited to finally share what we've been creating!

But first... you know the drill! 🤭

Here's your sneak peek, and there's an awful lot to guess this time! Some familiar Christmas favourites, a few surprises, and plenty of little details hiding in those shadows.

We can't wait to see what you think we've been up to! 👀

**Only one more sleep until the big reveal!** 🎁✨

Meet the friendliest Dracula you’re ever likely to find… 🧛‍♂️❤️

He may live in a coffin, surround himself with bats and have a ghost popping up nearby… but really, he just wants to be your friend.

Our Dracula’s Coffin Trinket Box looks wonderfully spooky from the outside, but open the lid and you’ll find this little chap tucked up inside, looking far more cheerful than terrifying. 😂

We’ve always had a soft spot for characters who don’t behave quite how they’re supposed to, and Dracula definitely falls into that category.

He’s not lurking in the shadows waiting to scare anyone.

He’s just waiting for you to open the lid and say hello. 🥰

🧙‍♀️ The witches have decided it's far too rainy and cold for flying today! 😂

So Helga has retired to her cauldron, where she's busy preparing something rather suspicious.

She assures us it's pumpkin soup.

We're inclined to believe her… although nobody seems to know where the rat has gone. 👀🐀

Our Witching Witches Trinket Box is full of little stories waiting to be discovered. Witches flying on their broomsticks, poor unsuspecting frogs getting caught up in spells, and Helga proudly stirring away on top.

We love how there's something different to discover as you turn the box around. And underneath all that witchy mischief, there's even a little space to hide your own treasures.

Although we'd probably check what Helga's been keeping in there first! 😂💚

🇪🇺💕 **EU SHIPPING IS BACK!** 💕

When we had to stop shipping to the EU a few months ago, it was incredibly disappointing. The last thing we ever wanted was to let our lovely European customers down, but with so many new regulations and legal requirements to navigate, continuing to ship to Europe had become practically impossible for a small business like ours. It certainly wasn't a decision we wanted to make, and quite frankly, it was the last thing we needed!

But we weren't prepared to give up that easily! 💗

Over the last few months, we've been working incredibly hard behind the scenes, seeking expert help and professional advice to find a way through the maze of regulations. It's certainly not been straightforward, and even now some of the requirements aren't as clear as we'd like, but we're delighted that we've finally found a way to meet our legal obligations and start shipping to the EU again!

And that means **we can finally welcome our lovely EU customers back!** 🎉

We've missed you, and we're so happy to be sending our little parcels of beady happiness across Europe once more. 🥰

So, we'd suggest making the most of it before the EU dreams up another regulation and sends us all back to the drawing board! 😂

**Happy beading, Europe!** 💕

✨ A little creativity, a lot of possibilities! 💕

There's a rather lovely corner of our ThreadABead shop in Llandudno where the hardest part isn't making something... it's deciding what to choose! 😄

Our Creation Station is all about having a little fun with beads, charms and findings, mixing and matching your favourites to create something that's completely your own.

Will it be something delicate and pretty? Bright and colourful? Or perhaps a bracelet with so many adorable charms that choosing just one was never really an option? 😂

That's what we love about it. Everyone starts with the same wonderful selection of little treasures, but what they create is entirely their own.

And we think that's rather special. 🥰
