I had a pretty frustrating day at work yesterday, so I decided to sit down last night and make a new bracelet since that always seems to calm me down. Since I had already decided to wear brown and pink today, I pulled out some seed beads and, using a spiral stitch, made this bracelet.
The problem? I didn't use the best lighting when I was working on it, and those core beads I thought were brown are actually a dark purple! I didn't even realize it until I stepped out into the light today.
Oh well. Guess next time I'll check my colors in better light!
If you recall, a couple of months ago I decided to open a new shop on Jewel Span. After much deliberation, I've decided to close that shop, and stick with my original Etsy shop. It's nothing against Jewel Span--I just found that it's difficult to keep track of two shops, and Etsy seemed to get more traffic. I've added a few things to the Etsy shop, and I plan to add more throughout the week.
I just got back from a business trip, and while I was gone, this little toy arrived:
I can't wait to play with it! I saw it used on an episode of Beads, Baubles and Jewels, and it looked like so much fun!
I packed away all my snowman decorations yesterday and got out all my spring ones. Naturally, they're now calling for snow tonight and in the morning. Not that I'm complaining!
