So i haven't updated in a month. Want to know why? Blogger apparently had to switch servers to google (which obvioiusly is taking over the world). So, you know, i go to the log-in page and it demands that i create a google account?! Which i suppose is really no big deal, just king of uneccesary. I signed up with google, and then tried to proceed to my blog. Only, my password and username were not valid; strange. Instead of bringing me to my page, it kept reloading the log-in page. This eventually got frusterating and i gave up. A few days later i tried again. Still no go.

Andddd i tried again today, and suddenly it works! I'm dissapointed with google, but glad to have this back. Expect more entries soon!

uh yeah here's another one...what else am i to do during break??

Some crocheted bracelets! These are the most time-consuming projects i've taken the time to do. They're made up of hundreds of seed beads. First i have to string them all, then each is incorporated into a stitch to make a spiral-like tube. Definitely a pain. But for some reason i like this kind of stuff...

HI OLIVIA! (now go to www.craftster.org, rawr. no, seriously. DO IT)

ahem.

So this is just a little something i made over the summer. It's crocheted with 28 gauge silver wire. Silver, gray, and purple beads are worked into the wire, and it's ended with a lobster clasp. The wire can be bent and stretched to fit pretty much any wrist size.

more bracelets to come...

green set from a while ago fun stuff, i love the hoops

Yeah so this was pretty much Christmas morning for me. i have another bowl that size...and it's full : )

I love beads!

Actual projects are coming soon...

Sadly i didn't come up with this design on my own. I saw it online (?) and decided to try it out.
The ear hooks are sterling, the stars were done free-form. The second one was harder to do than the first, because i had to copy the size and shape of the existing one. Fun, quick project.

I took a ton of pictures of recently finished projects, so i should have more updates within the week. i've been very busy!
