making jewellery

 
 
Look, I've actually done something productive these holidays! How strange! Mind you this was only an hour-long feat compared to the millions of hours spent playing Skyrim and The Sims, but I still feel as though I have done something worthwhile. I don't have many jewellery making skillz just yet, but I think I am getting better. I've never been really good at anything arty farty so I am quite pleased with these creations! Yay. There are other things that I want to learn how to do, including sewing and drawing, but jewellery making/beading is quite fun and I want to make more and more!

Thanks for saying nice things about my last post, I feel a bit silly about posting those pictures online as it was something I tried to hide for a long time (yeah I'm a poet). I asked my boyfriend if I should remove the photos and he said, "nooooooo don't be silly." So they will remain. I will just have to post a lot more than usual so that the photos get pushed to the next page, haha.

One last thing - today I won my first giveaway! Hurray! Thank you to Denise of Gray Lavender. I am soon to be the proud owner of some totally sexxxxy shapewear. Oh yeahhhh!

  1. Congratulations on the giveaway :) And your jewellery is really aweseome - the necklace especially reminds me of a similar one I have and love the style to bits. Where did you get the bits and pieces for making them? I'd like to have a go myself, but don't know where to start! x

  2. @Milly Thank you! I got the charms and beads of the necklace from eBay, and took the little birdies off a necklace that was falling apart. I also bought a jewellery making kit from a craft store to get me started, you should definitely give it a go!

  8. AWWW YEAH WIN THAT SHIT GIRL. These pieces are so pretty! I hardly ever wear jewelry besides rings or the occasional necklace. I feel bad for my mom since she always tries to buy me jewelry for xmas and I never wear it :C

    You should make an etsy shop and sell some things!

    @Chantelle, thefabulousgypsy and Alannah - I can never get sick of playing the Sims! So much time, so little Sims to electrocute. because they have no handiness skills.

    @Lauren - I have been thinking about the Etsy thing! Will have to look into it. Dunno if good enough yet though!

    @Sarah - I always forget to check peoples' posts for replies! Fairly silly as I've started to reply to people in my comment section as well, haha.

  29. I heart the pretty sparrow earrings and bracelet! Great job!

    Also, don't even worry about having posted those pictures. That took guts and I think we all applaud you for doing so. You made it easier to relate to for most girls.
