Crafts

So, I'm as obsessed with Pinterest as the next person, and I saw some fun ideas on there for using Scrabble pieces for stuff, and I decided to make some Christmas ornaments. They're nothing special, but they were pretty fun and easy, and it's something I can envision doing with kids some day. When I ran out of the letters that I needed, I just flipped the extras over, painted them, and used puffy paint to write.

I also made a necklace. I'm not sure it's one that I'll wear often, since I don't really wear a lot of gold, but I had the materials for it and I think it turned out all right (although the photo isn't the best).

Latest and Greatest

I made a new necklace this week, and I think I like it the best out of all the jewelry I've made. (It looks better in real life than it does in the picture.)

New Jewelry

I made some new jewelry this week. Admittedly, the necklace only took two seconds to slip the "bead" onto the cord. But the bracelet and earrings are legitimately mine.

I also decided that I didn't quite like this other pair that I had made...so, I changed them. I enjoy the freedom of being able to change things when I decide to.

These are my latest creations...and perhaps the least gaudy :)

New Hobby

Well, earlier in the year, I said I didn't want to read as much because I wanted to spend time developing new hobbies and skills. While I think my REAL new hobby (although not one I'm particularly interested in doing but have had thrust upon me) is dealing with managing apartments that have been foreclosed, the new hobby I enjoy most is making jewelry. So what have I made?

Ten pairs of earrings

Four bracelets
