Another Necklace
After getting my hair done yesterday, I popped into one of my local Joann's to get some knit ribbing for my Burda track pants (I didn't get to see anyone's comments on how well self fabric worked until after I got home). I also browsed the novelty fabric section and found some wonderful prints that I might use for the Hoodie's Collection apron or Bean Bag patterns which I ordered from Kris' (a.k.a Monkey Foot Designs) Ebay store. I'm just having a hard time deciding if the apron should be pretty (like the one on the pattern envelope), funky (use all novelty prints), or one of each since it is reversible!
Bret and Taylor were supposed to be off fishing for the day, but since they fish weren't really biting and the wind was picking up, they come home early. That meant that I didn't get any sewing time in. However, I did have enough time to make this:

This is my second attempt at making a necklace and I have to say, went much better than the last one. Now, I need to order The Impatient Beader Gets Inspired: A Crafty Chick's Guide to Instant Inspiration so I can get some creative beading ideas!

I'm doing lots of sewing this weekend. Not finishing much, but sewing alot.

Gorgeous necklace! I admire your sense of adventure to branch out to other crafts - I won't let myself make jewelry.. yet another craft with it's own set of "stuff". But then again, I said that about knitting too.... :)
