make something day seventy-seven

Today I made a simple silver bracelet with a single coral bead in the middle. I'm just piling on new wrist candy and so far all of the bracelets that I'm wearing have been made this year thanks to my 'make something' project.

make something day fifty-three

Today I made: a bow that you can wear on your wrists! I used the same bow pattern that I use to make these necklaces. After making this bracelet I thought to myself, "what else can I put bows onto!?" and I've come to the conclusion that the possibilities are seemingly endless! Bow pins, bow keychains, bow earrings, bow ties, bow clips, bow shoe clips, bows, bows, bows...

make something days twelve&thirteen

This weekend I made: two new "slave bracelets," hand chains, ring bracelets or whatever you want to call them. One for each day, I made the moon one on Saturday and then went a little feather crazy on Sunday. I'm willing to sell the feather one if anyone wants it and though I'm keeping the moon chain for myself, I can make a few more to put up in my shop! Any takers?

Etsy favorites! I have a couple of new Etsy favorites that I thought went well together including some skull jewelry from UNKNOWN SOUL and a cute little tunic that bought from Karmologyclinic. I got my shirt on a sample sale so it was only $16, and I love it, it's the perfect length and color. I love taking pictures of all the nice things that I own, I feel like it gives them more of a purpose and a place in my life. Sharing my collections of things makes me so much happier than just wearing them or letting them sit around the house.

I've been thinking a lot about fashion blogging since I already seem to document the rest of my life and my projects. I've tried at it before but never really seem to like the pictures I come out with even though I have some of the greatest outfits. I definitely don't fit in with the rich girl fashion bloggers and all of their expensive clothes and beautiful model faces. I'm more of a discount shopper with an outdoorsy lifestyle, so I love great thrift store finds that can look fashionable and still be able to handle a nice walk in the woods. I have made a LookBook which I've posted a couple of outfits on buuuut that didn't go over so well with the LookBook audience and I seem to enjoy closeups of bits and pieces of my outfits more than the big picture. Maybe I'll get back around to it someday with some more confidence and some awesome photos. I feel like blogging on top of working through Etsy could really benefit me if I can get a large enough following, and I know that if I work hard enough at it I can make my dreams come true.
