sleep....

Sleep is a good thing. Sleep is something that I took for granted. So remember kids, try to get at least 8 hours of it. God, I'm tired.
Also I'm heading home this weekend. Meaning I have access to the tools that I didn't bring with me, like my hammers. *evil smile*

Just a quick break.

I have been so busy for the past couple of days, I think time to come up for air and tea. Earl Grey and something called "true lemon". Though I always thought that a "true lemon" was round and I don't know the actual fruit?! (I still tried it anyways.)

 

In more important news I finished up my cousin's bracelet two nights ago(I think, I'm starting to get my days all mixed up). I like how it came out and I hope she does too. She said that she didn't want it to be too chunky, so I stuck with smaller beads and pearls. Oh! and I was wrong, this is the last color changing bead. I found it mixed in with a bunch of random charms. Now I'm going to sit back and enjoy my tea before my next class. bye!

Happy Snail Mail

Look what came in the mail for me today! I'm such a geek, but they're so cute. Tiny, colorful spaceships. I was going to use them in necklaces, but now I just them to sit on my shelves, so I can stare at them. Hmmmm...what to do, what to do.

Donuts and tea(or coffee depending on you tastes), what a great way to wake up on Sunday morning.  

Black Hole Earrings

Two miniature black holes encased in brass and a force field to protect the wearer. Only for the most bravest of fashionistas.
A pair of earrings that I created last night. Even though I call them black holes the beads are actually a dark purple.

On a side note, I'm now working on a commission piece for my cousin. So yay! more money for the poor college student.

Something simple, sort of.

I finished the necklace that I have been working on this week. I call it "plastic tears"... for now, I might change that. It sounded better in my head. Anyways, in the end I went with something simple, since the the teardrops standout on their own. I still have a ton of these left over though. I could make maybe two more depending on the length, if anyone is interested. Now I'm working on a pair of earings inbetween school and other social activies. I'm trying out of a musical tonight, The Producers. I just want a small part, nothing too big. In other news, I sold that bracelet I posted a few days ago. True it was to my aunt, but still I made around $20, that will most likely go back into beads or books which ever comes first.

 

 

Pay it Forward-handmade

 

I have been seeing this on a lot of the  bead blogs I follow lately so decided to play along. It sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to get my work out there.

 

Here's how it works:

I’ll send a surprise gift to the first three commenters on this blog post. The gift will be a handmade surprise by me and will be sent to you some time in the next 365 days (yep, mystery gift at a mystery time).

Leave me a comment and make sure you include your email address (if your profile doesn’t include it). I’ll email you for your snail mail address and a ask a few questions (likes/dislikes, favourite color and tea, sizes general stuff like that).

To complete signing up you MUST play along too. To do this you must blog a similar post and pledge to make a surprise gift for the first three people who comment on it.

 

So, do you want to play? Comment below and I’ll sent a thoughtful handmade gift to the first three people who do.
