With all my crafty endeavors you'd think that I'd have tried my hand at jewlery making before, but I never really have. Well today when me mom came to babysit me, I mean the kids, she also brought a huge pile of beads and earring making supplies. I spent many an hour making earrings and now have 16 pair that I am not sure yet what to do with. I'll actually wear a few of them, but the majority I won't mainly because of the beading choices my mother had available you'll notice a trend. Lots of wood and lots of green and black. I think I was channeling this gal when I was choosing beads. I was nice and made my mom a red white and blue pair even though it killed me and they looked like old lady earrings. She figured that works out since she is an old lady (oh please). There is just something about red white and blue jewelry that conjures up images of elementary school teachers and their bad holiday sweaters and accessories. Which now that I mention it my mom used to own several frightening holiday and back to school themed sweaters in the day. There must be photographic evidence of those atrocities somewhere. Gotta look into that...
Anyway, lets not digress into bad parental fashion choices, lord knows my own children will be scarred by something in my closet someday. So where was I? Oh yeah, earrings. I made lots, it was fun. Now I kinda really want to order some cool beads and such online. We'll see if I actually do it. I'm still waiting on my needle felting supplies. Good old Amazon delivered my book yesterday, so I drooled over the projects last night and in between earrings and Gilmore Girls DVDs today. Patience isn't one of my better skills, but I'll try to be good and wait!
My birthday is on Thursday...I can justify an expenditure, right?
Sheesh these pictures are terrible. Oh well, they were taken in our room on my bed at 5:30 so the light wasn't exactly great.
