I didn't even start this cuff until December 15th or 16th, for some reason I lost momentum after the November one. I think it happened because I finished November so early, maybe?
I liked the way the paw prints on the November cuff sort of splashed in the dark blue beads so I tried to use that technique again. I'm not so sure it worked here except around the orange slice itself.
Maybe I should explain why an orange slice! Every year we get cases of Japanese mandarin oranges or California Satsumas here, really good, juicy oranges in the middle of winter are the best Christmas treat ever and one of the few traditions I've kept from my childhood. Tangarines/Satsumas/Mandarins all say "Christmas" to me.
