Hey. So. I haven’t been getting out much. Mostly because it gives me massive amounts of anxiety to leave Abby because, apparantly, I suck at being sane.

So I do what the crazies do- repetitive behaviors. Mine? Beading! Look what I made: 

 

I got the idea for these from Oprah. For reals, yo (I just outed myself. I used to watch that show religiously. Except for the stuff about black people having hard to do hair. I’m not black. Not even a little. Though, if I told you I were, you would have believed me. Right?). She wore something like this on one of her shows and I liked that it mixed wood with some sparkly. So I went to her site and saw that there was a sale on it or something for just $20! Then I saw that it was PER bracelet. Sorry. Much to cheap. So I made some and am no selling them on etsy. Mostly so I can tell my husband that’s what I’m doing. I really like just being able to sit in front of the TV and feel like I’m doing something productive.

 I stole this idea from Utah. Utah is a great place to steal ideas.  I’m awesome at stealing craft ideas. In fact, I’ve just started another blog about that whole subject. One day I’ll actually get it off of the ground and post a link. But not today. I just saw my cuticles in the picture below. Gross. (I say that like I actually care. I don’t.)

Okay. These are fun. But while I was out in Utah I saw all of these interchangeable charm pendant things. (Called “cluster charms” I believe) They’re super cute. So I stole that idea, too. Then added to it. I liked them, but thought that it would be cool if you could switch out colors and whatnot. So I made a bunch that you can change not only the entire pendant, but also the colors or whatever within the pendant itself.  That way, you can have it be as full as you’d like it to be. You can add black or clear to any of them, or mix up colors to match your outfit (if you’re into that sort of thing. I have yet to find something that works with sweats…but I’m working on it).
