seed beaded witch hat earrings: pattern and giveaway!

**this giveaway is now closed, thanks!**

I created this cute witch hat earring pattern...just in time for Halloween!

Feel free to use the pattern to make yourself a pair (or enter to win a pair, details below!).

You will need to know how to do a two drop brick stitch and fringe.

Size 11/0 round or cylinder type beads will work best. I used Toho treasures in a black, yellow and green shade.

flowers, flowers and more flowers

I don't know why, but I have been in a flower making mood lately! I just added a bunch to my Etsy shop today.

...and because of my blooming flower mood...I decided to share some of my Etsy flower finds too: look at this gorgeous polymer clay rose pendant by theluckyrose:

and I just love this necklace from LieblingDesigns:
look at this great headband from ChamberryCherry (the flowers are removable to use as hair clips!):
betzwhite has the most amazing flower decorated stocking in her shop:

this is such a unique necklace from mamaslittlebabies: LullabyLamb's crochet hat is so sweet (my daughters would look so cute it!):
look at these dainty little daisy earrings from beadbug's shop:
and I could go on...and on...and on......happy flower picking:)
