having a sick computer and a sick baby really put me behind on my blog posts this week...I may have not been able to post, but I'm always armed with a camera and I'm not afraid to use it!! ;)
So get ready for post overload!
I fell in love with my friend's chunky necklace and bracelet set a few weeks ago.
I was floored when she told me she MADE it.
Well, amazed AND offended.
How could she have kept such a talent a secret from me?
I blame myself really.
I vaguely remember learning of this talent a few months ago...
when I was preggars...
memory loss...
need I say more...
So!
We planned a jewelry making par-tay!
Some of us came to create,
some of us came to play with the babies!!
My friend, Angie, and I were the students.
{never done this before and five minutes into it I remembered why!}
Angie chose to create a chic one strand necklace. She created her masterpiece and then was free to play with the babies...
I chose to create a THREE-strand bracelet.
Why?
I think it has something to do with my momma
dropping me on my head when I was a baby.
I would say 90% of a jewelry's price is the design. It's really hard for me to envision something in my head and then create it. I like the trial and error technique. I redesigned my bracelet numerous times and finally completed it. Now I just need my teacher {she's "the" arrow raiser so she has a little more occupying her time than jewelry making} to help me attach my clasp and I can wear it!
Confession: I'm addicted to jewelry making and I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I filled my basket with beads at HobLob this week {of course only the ones that were half off!}.
I've gone mad I tell ya.
While the mommas created and played with babies, the kiddos ate...
and got creative too!
My very own Fire Chief!
Lynden and Arrow #4 got acquainted too.
"Lynden, buddy, you've got to lighten up."
"I'm not upset, I just need some shades.
Our momma's think they're the paparazzi!!"
