Christmas Countdown #1: Threadhoney's Shop

Happy Holidays pattern - Threadhoney shop

Hi all! It's been a rough year, hasn't it? It's December and I thought we might all need some Christmas cheer. So I'll be counting down the days to Christmas - our wonderful friend Pam did our countdown in years past, and I'll be doing it in her honor this year.

I'll put my Wonderful Wednesday posts on pause for the month of December, so I can feature a new inspiring shop every day until Christmas. Whether you're in the market for a new pattern or not, I hope these images will inspire you!

So, first up, is Threadhoney's shop on Etsy - I love the simple style in the Happy Holidays pattern above, and the wintery blue palette.

And if you want to see some examples of how these different elements can come together to create wonderful works of art -- all framed in a simple embroidery hoop -- look no further than the Scrappy { Hoops } swap.

The Scrappy { Hoops } a group "dedicated to creating and receiving the coolest modern and urban fabric hoops for their homes!" The insanely talented swappers in the group combine different materials and techniques to bring their visions to life.

But enough words. I've compiled a collection of beautiful & inspirational photos to give some flavor of what you can find in the group. Click on each photo to learn more about both the maker and the recipient of each piece.

Want to get involved? The group recently wrapped up round 1 of the swap, and I've heard some buzz about a potential round 2 ...
