Easy Beaded Bracelet Tutorial
I was in the mood for bracelets this week. I wanted to make a few that I could stack up my arm for fun so I dug around in my crafting stash to see what I had on hand. I came up with some…
New Bracelet, Interrupted
I must’ve done something to my wrist yesterday or today because its really bothering me. I started to work on a new bracelet but it hurt too much to continue so Ive put it aside for now. It’s also hurting to type, so that’s…

It’s kind of a low key evening after an already busy weekend. I’m transforming a simple metal bangle into a friendship bracelet bangle by knotting white, blue and slate embroidery floss around it. The color scheme is currently matching my pajama pants and nails.
