Christmas Craftings

First thing's first. Let's give a big WHOOP for 2 more followers! That's right folks, our family of 15 has grown to 17. Nothing makes me happier. Here's the next plea for commitment. Commit today and become an official follower! (Sarah, I know you are like so annoyed reading this. Soddy!)

HOKAY......sooo I have been filling my time here in Dallas by making things. All sorts of things, but mostly girly things. I'm bored and broke....and girly.

wrap necklace. 3 pieces of chord cut at different lengths wrapped in different colored string. (middle has beads strung in)

Wire ring #1

Wire ring #2

Wire ring #3

Wire ring #4 (inspired by a similar ring Sstimson wears) ((mine is not NEARLY as cool as hers- promise))

Arm band/bracelet  

I'm sad the colors didn't turn out great on this one....the orange ric-rac is NEON!...heart is leaport, and it's a cluster of pearls in the middle, all on top of scraps that did not go into my sister's wedding dress :)

Christmas 2010= no wrapping for Bethany! It's all about making boxes out of cereal boxes. Tie a cute bow on top and you're good to go!

Headband

White lace band with elastic behind head. Leopard mount.  Another wedding dress scrap, and green/blue/orange (bad) stitching around perimeter.  

Dad wanted in :) don't you like his hat?!

Big Bow wire ring! 

I had to start making them bigger so they would fit people with normal sized fingers. I have these fingers on a strict diet.

Tear drop beaded wire ring (it's hard to see so I got a few angles along with a few annoying faces ;)

Ok, so clearly I have a lot of wire and too much time, but I wanted to make as many gifts as I could this year! I have more to do, that's for sure, but friends- if you receive any of these gifts and they fall apart or you don't like them, could you just not tell me? That'd be great.

Hey- my friend Amy (or Zami) got accepted to go on the study abroad trip to SPAIN this summer!!!!! I was so excited for her when she told me the good news! Zami has to have spending money- duh! So Zami is the newest member of Northpark's first ever popcorn store: "uptown popcorn". Amy is the pride of Uptown's popcorn, so they have her bagging the popped corn in the back. Zami hurt her finger today. Poorrrrrr Zami! In an interview, I asked Amy what her favorite flavor was, and she answered: "I don't know, they're all pretty good." That's right, folks- you heard it here first...they are ALL pretty good!

Keep her sanity and the tip of her pointer finger in your prayers

Moe got in trouble for peeing on things in the house. When you're a dog who pees on things in our house, you get the underware of shame. I know some of you have seen these on facebook, but I still laugh every time. Check him out.

Ella is the coolest. I have her in extensive training to becoming my spawn. Just kidding, she definitely marches to the beat of her own drum, but our beats sound strangely similar....watch out world. Seriously, I'm not kidding.

 Shoot, looks like she's gonna be a better version of myself. 

Mkay, I'm tired. Imma hit the hay. I'll leave you with a Chinese proverb a friend once shared with me: "Don't let the bed bugs bite". Merry Crafting, bLoGgErZz!!

Nothin but love,
Bethany
