I'm hosting an Ornament Blog Hop today on the Art Bead Scene.
We take decorating our Christmas tree very serious in the Humble Home. For the last 17 years Jess and I have been making themed ornaments for our tree each year. We come up with a theme together and get to work like little elves. Over the last few years the ornament collection has been a reoccurring woodland theme with birds, nests, acorns, pine cones and snowflakes. As you can imagine our tree is filled with beaded ornaments that I have created over the years. It's one of my favorite crafty projects of the season!
Jess sat down and made his own version of the design.
Be sure to stop by the Art Bead Scene today after 12pm (EST) for a chance to win a fabu prize from little ol' me.
Fix yourself a cup of hot cocoa and put on your favorite holiday radio station as you enjoy visiting the rest of the blog hop participants for a little ornament inspiration!
Humblebeads - You are here!
Hope you are having a fun and relaxing start to the holiday season!

Love this sneak peak! Can't wait to see more. :)
How nice that you and Jess create ornaments for your tree together! Love the ornaments. I'll bet your tree is just stunning! I know I love mine every year because of the special ornaments either the kids or I have crafted and the special artist made ornaments I've collected.
Thank you so much for hosting this blog hop Heather. It's been fun!
Love your ornaments, thanks for organizing!!!
Heather and Jess- these are both wonderful!! I saw those red beads at Michaels, Heather, and had no idea what to do with them- what you have done is perfect. I would love to see all the ornaments you both have created over the years- I bet it is a beautiful collection!
Heather, LOVE your ornament! The leaf looks like it has a frosty finish, so pretty!
And Jess's is wonderful...they make a great pair!
Thanks again for hosting the blog hop!
What a lovely pair of ornaments! Our tree has scads of homemade ornaments, mostly with clay and a fair share of those beaded, as well.
Winter Woodland Wonderful!!!
I especially love that you combined elements from very different sources.
Things that some people might not have thought to use together all combined for Perfectly Lovely ornaments.
Very ,very inspiring!

I think the family traditions are what make the holidays special. They are the most important part of the holidays in our family. I love that you and Jess have shared this for so many years. Your leaf and berry ornament is a lovely combination of colours and texture.
Heather these are so beautiful! I hope that you have a wonderful holiday!
Love it Heather! And Jess's too!
Both are beautiful, Heather! I love the earthiness of your ornament with that fabulous pop of red!!
Both your ornament and Jess's look great! Love that you have a woodland theme and a tradition of creating them together, so awesome! Thank you for hosting this event, I really enjoyed participating in it and look forward to next year!
Oo-la-la! I admire BOTH versions! What creative vision! It's like you can not only see, but also feel the textures of the "Dusty Miller" green, the dark earthy bronze, and shiny red berries!
Such a lovely set! Love the verdigris leaf and the brown version, wonderful shape to pair with the berries...
Stunning, special and simply gorgeous!
Another stunning creation, Heather! Absolutely love it... beautiful! Thank you for stopping by to see my creation!

Oh man! You ought to sell your ornaments! I see this as a great pendant on a long chain as well. I love that melting pot stuff and think I might have to put that on my wish list for the new year. You make it look so awesome!
Enjoy the day.

The cherries and leaves look amazing in the neck piece.I think adding new elements create new looks and make the pieces adorable.
