Christmas is Coming...

It's getting near to that time of year again, I love Autumn and look forward to Halloween as it means Christmas is next! I have been getting into it a little earlier than is sane and have cracked these beauties out...

Apple and Cinnamon Candles:




And these give me the background smell of christmas for a little inspiration for some christmas makes:
A little felt beaded Christmas Tree:

Some wire beaded snowflakes in Christmas colours, I think I will hang these on fine ribbons and hang about the house, I have a few more to make:

Since attending the Craft Fair I have been 'into' my beads again and have made some big blingy rings from some chinese doughnut crystals, I love these beads:

I had left over beads and made some earrings to match.I quite like the look of the red velvet and opal stones and they also remind me of Christmas, I think I might keep these for myself and I have just started a matching bracelet in the same colours.

Have you got the Christmas bug yet or is it far too early, and am I insane?

Its never too early Kandi, I got some "glistening snow" scented candles but Hubby goes mad saying they smell funny and are dangerous. I love em tho. I love your jewellery too the doughnut crystals are very popular. I was looking in M&S and they had loads of crystal jewellery the sparkle was so pretty. Dx

A bit too early for me I am afraid but I do love all your makes. I especially love the sparkly rings, I bought on very similar in Spain this year and love the way it sparkles!

I'm liking the look of that candle! Where's it from?

I've completely got the Christmas bug. I hate leaving it all till the last minute - I like to be well organised.
