On the tenth day of Christmas...

I'm sorry for going for a while without posting again...one of New Years  resolutions ought to be to try and post more often. :)

Well, here we are. It's the tenth day of Christmas. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Mine was lovely, to be sure. I can't believe the twelve days of Christmas are almost over! Epiphany is on Friday. The week before Christmas I couldn't believe it was almost Christmas. And now it's over. Wow.

I got many great gifts, including a metal stamping kit! I haven't been able to use it yet, but I can't wait. I'm just annoyed because it didn't come with any instructions. *rolls eyes*

I also redid my room! I painted it (with much help from my mom :) a really pretty seafoam blue (it was a very dark blue before, which made it look like a cave) it really lightened the room up. I'll be posting before/after pictures soon. Stayed tuned!






Well, last but not least, here are a few Christmas pictures. Merry Christmas! (I'm trying to say that all I can till Epiphany!!)

P.S. I'm in the process of redoing the blog, so if their are any glitches, that's why! :) God bless!

Vintage Inspired Jewelry and a quick update

Sorry for the lack of posts... But hey, I sorta kinda have an excuse... First, one word. SCHOOL. Lots less time to stare at the computer. ;) Second, activities start back up! Busyness. Oooh, and in other news I'm starting a drama/acting and tomorrow is the first day. Eeeep! You'll (hopefully) see a flood of posts now... I have approx. 4 gazillion projects to share with you! :) Now, on to the jewelry!

It all started about a month ago. I was at the amazingness known as the craft store and I spied some gold charms. I fell in love with them and bought them even though the price tag was a bit high... And of course I went right home and went crazy!

I love this necklace sooooooo much. ^_^ I took a chain, took it apart then strung the pearls and gold charms onto silk thread and attached them securely to the chain. And yes, it does sound easier then it was. :)

This charm bracelet was sooooooo fun to make. Very easy, too. It looks so vintagey, and I also think it looks a little steampunk. What do you think?

Off to finish History! Auf Wiedersehen! :)
