Look What I Made!

I'm no longer feeling shitty. In fact, I'm feeling super creative. SO creative, in fact, that I completed a few new jewelry pieces over the last two days. Here's my funky, chunky black, pink, and white bracelet that I totally love. It's been in the making since last summer. I bought all the supplies but never got around to it. But now it's finished and I love it. It's for sale on in my etsy store.

And here is a funky pair of dangle earrings that I made out of a few of the thousands of die beads I have. I bought them last year and used only a couple. I think these earrings are so awesome because all the colors look great together. They are also for sale in my etsy store.

And I made these retro fried egg earrings. They are cool, but I have another idea for a future pair that should turn out better.

So that's what I've been doing with my time over the past few days. That's in between searcing for a job, doing laundry, cleaning the house, baking, and playing with Lola. I bought new bedding for our bed at Target yesterday, so those are going on the bed in about an hour. The colors are brown and pink - an awesome combination. Phillip even said he likes them! That was a surprise, for sure.

Happy weekend, everyone.

Wow. Productive!

I was pretty productive today. I scrubbed out the sink in the kitchen. It was disgusting and stained so I used some bleach stuff and scrubbed. It looks better now. I also did some organizing and cleaning. I wanted to watch one of the movies I got from Netflix, but it looks like The Hubs returned it without asking me. Now I'll have to wait til I get a new one.

I also finally finished this bracelet that I've been working on since last summer. It looks awesome. I made it of 8 inch "S" hooks and red and copper colored copper wire. It took me 3 hours to finish because the wrapping of the hooks takes forever. I added a jump ring chain and a frog clasp closure that can be adjusted to any length. It has a real industrial feel to it and it's kind of punk rock. Yeah, that's it.



here, Lola lends a hand, er, neck to model it for me.



I'll probably add this to my Etsy store at some point. I need to make more jewelry designs to try and make a little money while I'm waiting to get a job.
