Okay, I've been waiting to post until I found my camera, but it looks like my camera is hanging out wherever the can opener decided to hide. Apparently we have a black hole into which all missing things get sucked. Anyway, I wanted to start posting some of the things I've been doing and making. Lately it's been mostly jewelry. I'm a little obsessed with pearls right now...hehehe. More to come!

                                              Here is a bracelet I made:




My favorite thing about the jewelry I make is that I use pieces from old stuff I already have, or I find really hideous things on clearance at Walmart and take it apart to use the pieces I like. It ends up costing me almost nothing! The clasp for this bracelet came from a piece of clearance jewelry. I was able to make a pair of earrings, and this bracelet from the one piece that cost me $2.50, and I still have a lot of useful pieces left over.

  2. Really pretty! Can't wait to see it in person. So, how'd you take the picture if your camera ran off with the can opener?

    1. ...still trying to figure out how this blog thing works...I'm guessing I should have hit "reply" instead of making a new comment. Well, I'll figure it out

  3. Hahaha! With the camera on my phone! The problem with that is most of those pictures come out blurry, and I can't upload them right from my phone. Stupid dumb technology ;P
