Crafty Day :-)

Today was my day off and I decided I wanted to make the most of it since the next few weeks are going to be really busy between both of my jobs (working extra hours!) I decided to get my cleaning out of the way last night, since I usually do it on Wednesdays. I reserved today simply for crafting and relaxing.

I FINALLY got this necklace made!!! It's a simple concept but was tougher for me than I expected it to be. It's simply fishing line, ribbon, beads and you need a needle to sew the ribbon onto the fishing line. The hardest part is keeping the ribbon and fishing line from getting all tangled because both pieces are so long. I finally got it made though and I'm rather proud of myself :-) I attempted a second one this afternoon but it just wasn't working out for me - too many tangles. So I'll give it a try another day!

So here it is...... :-)

  1. Ugh, I left a super long comment & blogger ate it! Basically the jist of the comment was I was wondering how you complete it at the "clasp" (I put it in quotes cuz I don't know if there is an actual clasp, or if you just tie it, or what)

    Yes, we are only about 45 minutes from "home". This State will never truly be home... I would not want to live in NY that's for sure! How is your sister?
