See what I made!

Hello friends!

As part of the group project at church, I decided to donate a jewelry set to be given out during a raffle draw. I realized that a big reason why I don't make more jewelry is because I typically try to make complicated items, with tiny beads. When it takes me more than an hour to make anything, I lose interest. Seeing as I volunteered to donate a set, I knew I had to make something quick and easy, and here it is below... Sawry, the pictures aren't really clear :(

What I did this weekend - Cross Earrings...

Hello berryboos!

How'd your weekend go? Mine started off down, then ended up on a high note. Remember how I had the blahs on Friday? Well, it went well into Saturday and I refused to leave my house. Okay, it didn't help that my car died on Friday night - or so I thought. This lady came to do my hair, and when I wanted to drop her off, my car just stalled and refused to start. Since I was in a bad mood anyways, I just chucked the keys somewhere and said I'd deal with it later... Later came on Sunday, when my cakey friend came by and the silly car started in 5 seconds. *rolls eyes* How was I supposed to know the battery head was loose? When it comes to cars, all I need is for them to take me from Point A to Points 3, C, 8 and X, while cooling me down and playing music. I'm terrible with cars! I drive a Honda Accord and for the longest time, I thought it was a Civic :p

Anyways, here's the pair of earrings I made...

My beading tools. Decided to make cross earrings

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEADS!

 Finished product!

I love these earrings. Unfortunately, they got lost 5 minutes after I wore them because they were VERY light and I didn't have stoppers. I'll remake another pair this week.

And here's my hurr - which wasn't without drama.

I really like this hair. It's a little different from what I've done in the past year or so. And a lot of people are looking at me like I'm a completely different person, LOL. It's still lil' ol' me, your South-South Southern belle :)

Gotta rush off for a meeting!

KISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSES! I'm well now so I can kiss as much as I want :-*

I put a ring on it!

Yes, I did. I surely did!

You know how one of my goals is to make at least one beaded accessory a month? Well, I've been slacking a little bit. I knew I wanted to make a ring, but just the time and patience to sit down and get it done was being elusive. So this Saturday, I had some downtime and I was determined to sit in one place and JUST DO IT, like Nike! Here are the snaps :)

Red seed beads and my handy dandy beading thread

Let's get started :)

My photog said he thinks my hands are pretty and I should be a hand model *Yeah right*

Almost there

Side note: A pack of beads I have, got dropped and scattered all over the ground outside! *angry face*

Thanks to my scooper-upper! Hugs for days on end to ya!

Finished product! I wore it 3 days in a row :)
