One More Week of Summer

I'm really sorry about the very sparse posts these last two months. It's so weird that in the summer you're actually busier than during the school year!

I start my Senior year on the 25th! It will be my first time ever in public school. It's only going to be every other day but I should still be nervous, right? Well, I'm not. I've only just begun to count down; there are only 7 days until school starts but I'm still not nervous. A little excited, a little reluctant to go but not nervous. I wonder why?

Anyway, this was just a little post to say that after a few days of school [I hope] I'll have more time to do more projects and posting. Thanks, as always, for reading :)

String, Wood and Stones

I love to wear things that look natural and rustic like my two lastest neclaces.

I began with this necklace:










I found some square wooden beads and hemp string and used that necklace as a visual to make a flower. Its really fun and looks great!


I love this necklace because it looks really professional. I used crimping links (I don't know the real name...) to connect the suede lace to the string of beads instead of knots. That really made a huge difference. I'm glad I was able to find those 'crimping links' here!

This one actually is a gift that I gave to Bethany for her birthday. I was a little sad to part with it but I know that she really likes it, so I'm happy!

Wait 'til you see the other piece I'm working on; it's inspired by Lia Sophia!
