My New Best Friend

This wheel of string and I have become great friends the past few weeks. I use it all the time to make my necklaces. I think the metal string I bought but have yet to use is kinda jealous.

Wonder if I should start sleeping with one eye open?

Black Amber

This was the easiest and hardest necklace I've done so far. It's just a simple amber pendant that used to belong to my mother. Putting it on the string was the easy part. Sticking over 300 tiny seed beads took forever. At one point there were plenty of beads down my shirt shirt and in my bra. My hands got a little slippery. Meh, it happens.

A Dinner Rarity

In the entire time that I've known CraigiePoo she has never cooked fried chicken. She's always been against it on the grounds that she doesn't like to fry food and the smell gets all over the house. I guess I finally wore her down. We had homemade fried chicken for dinner tonight.

Ask long enough and you'll get it.

Simple Dinner

I'm pretty sure I've posted a picture of cornbread before, but whatever. We like cornbread in this household. By the way, if you haven't tried Safeway Select Frozen Lasagna you should. It's quite delicious for a frozen meal.

Beginner Goddess Bracelet-Oshun

This is another bracelet I made to go along with my Oshun necklace. It took a couple of days and losing beads twice to get it done. In the end, it turns out to be way to big for my arm. I'm still proud of it though.

Pulled out before its time

CraigiePoo is growing vegetables on our balcony. I'm not sure why, but this carrot was pulled out of the soil too early. I think it's edible. Kinda scary looking. I'm sure there's a fetus joke running around my brain, but that's going too far even for me.

Or is it?

Purple Charm

I made this little trinket for the CraigiePoo. Purple is her favorite color. I'm not quite sure what she's going to do with it. I'm thinking as a bookmark.

Black Red Moon

This my third necklace. I'm kinda impressed with myself. Once again, we spent an afternoon in the craft store on Saturday and bought a bunch of stuff. I fell in love with this pendant. I didn't have any particular special order the beads were supposed to be in. I'm learning to just do and let the creative mind work.

Non-New Knitting Needles

CraigiePoo got these needles off of eBay. It's all about knitting and crocheting for her these days. I'm waiting for my scarf.
