...cleaning my desk, filling out summer camp forms (so hard to be motivated to do this on March 5th), doing laundry, or making a promised charm bracelet for our upcoming school auction.  Instead I picked up some awesomely huge pearls my beady BFF Jen V sent me and some rough around the edges pale pink glass disks I got at my newly discovered neighborhood bead store.  I played around with the necklace a little bit but it came out pretty close to what I imagined.  I originally made the earrings with a bit of the chain from the necklace (the one on the right) but decided that with the necklace relatively short, the earrings needed to be shorter.  The final version is on the left.  The picture is not the best but it's a self photo taken using a mirror (note the out of focus wicker frame in the lower right corner).  So of course I must wear this tomorrow, which meant I needed to find a matching and church appropriate top, and now it's bed time.  So the cleaning and form filling will just have to wait. I am so broken up about this.


By the way, Jen V is having a major DESTASH SALE in her shop - go check it out!

  5. Oh my word, I love that! And I so know what you mean about making the jewelry, then matching the outfit to it. :)
    You know, the good thing about paperwork? It's like dust, it doesn't rot, so it can wait....and wait....and wait.
    Have a great week!
