Necklaces

I saw this picture the other day and thought, hey, I can make that!

So I tried.

Here’s what I ended up looking like:

I think they turned out pretty similar. Don’t you?

I tried putting them on a chain too:

not too bad right?

I’ve been messing around making a bunch of different earrings and necklaces. I’ve been meaning to put them up here, but haven’t found the time! The studs are mostly vintage. All the others I made using old things I’ve found at thrift stores or sale items from Michael’s.

Here are a couple that I’m super excited about:

I don’t know… I’m not much of a jewelry designer, I just love recycling and reusing other materials into something pretty. I try to have fun. Expect to see these things as I prepare for Christmas gifts! Don’t be surprised if you get a handmade paxie necklace! haha

Pinning, Posting, Blogging, Writing

so we meet again

This is officially my 48th post. Can you believe it? Apparently, WordPress was super excited to greet me as well. Go figure.

It’s been almost 4 months of blogging! I really enjoy it, but I wish I could get more free time to do the things I want to do with this blog. But time escapes me everyday. I hope to write on a more consistent basis and hopefully do some new interactive things in the upcoming months. I really want to have my own etsy account and sell some of the cool things I find at thrift stores or stuff that I make (if anyone would actually buy them!). Actually that was one of my new year’s resolutions – to start and sell ONE thing on etsy in 2011. I hope I make it. Haha.

I wish I can do all of the cool things my sister does in her blog. She’s so creative, and her blog has really been growing! I wish I was as motivated as she is. Or one of my other good friends, Tracy. She does this cool 30-for-30 where she posts 30 different outfits for a whole month! I’ve always been jealous of her style.

But with all of this working and stuff, I rarely find the time to make/blog/sell/shop for things anymore! Don’t you wish there were more hours in a day? So this week, I’ll try to post more. That’s my goal. So far, I’ve been pretty good (one everyday this week, minus Sunday…ha). Hopefully, I can keep up!

I want to offer some of my favorite photography pictures for today’s post. These have inspired me to live better, feel prettier, be nicer, and hope further. I found these on Pinterest: my favorite online inspiration board site. It’s highly addictive. If you’ve been on there before, check it out. You’ll love it.

These pictures make me happy. There’s something about lighting, angles, and composition that make every picture better. I’ll always appreciate great photography. Take a look at my favorite photography blogs:

I’m currently on the hunt for some new awesome blogs! If you have any cool ones, share! I love to look and explore new ideas.

That’s all for now!
