Good Wednesday Morning All.
I am interrupting my originally scheduled post to show you what I made in the last couple of days. Originally I had planned to make a DIY video for you –which I still will do – but instead, since it is summer, and I am off for a couple of weeks I decided I can just go where the sun and wind takes me and any previous engagements or tentative plans don’t necessarily have to be set in stone – cuz for me – that’s what summer is all about.
So instead of taking myself down to my studio which is in the basement (reads dark and cool)I took myself out on my sunny deck where the cool breeze kept the temperature down and the sun kept my mood up! With me I brought all my new beads and bangles which I had purchased from etsy about a month ago.
I had seen these vintage looking bracelets around a lot lately, Both Emma Cassi (who I love and will one day treat myself to one of her pieces) and Beth Quinn carry the kinds of bracelets I am talking about. In fact, I purchased one from Beth Quinn and that's when I decided I wanted to make some too.
And here, for myself, and for my mom and sister in law’s birthdays which are coming up – I made these:
A pretty bracelet filled beads,baubles and birds ...
A key chain finally to ake my keys pretty and easily find-able in my purse ...
A really simple little bracelet just to showcase my rosebud...
Another keychain for birthday giving for my mom...
So that's what summer is for me. Doing the things you really want to do whenver you want to do them and sometimes the results are really good!
