Day 30: I DID IT

Well, I am finishing up my 30 day challenge with a set of embellished bobby pins, which I am IN LOVE WITH.  Glue.  I love to glue stuff to other stuff.  Anyway, this challenge taught me that I could do something for 30 days.  I'm thinking about doing a 30 day fitness challenge.  Scary!  But, I think that I can do it, now that I've made something every day.  Being creative with my body may be a little bit more challenging, but I think I'd like to try before the weather gets warm and I have to unveil it to the world!

So here are the beauties of the day.  Thanks for hanging in there with me while I figure out this blogging stuff.  Hmmm...after I post these, what will I do next??????

Day 29: Vintage Button Bobby Pins

These are so pretty.  Bobby pins that you can GLUE STUFF TOO!  That makes me very excited.  These are vintage mother of pearl bobby pins.  I love them.  I wish my hair was longer, so I could do something with these!

Day 28: Mint Green Earrings

Don't know how I feel about these, but I made them anyway.  There is no telling what people will like.  I made a melted pony bead necklace that I thought would be thrown out, but it got bought!  And fallen in love with, to boot!

Day 27: Mint Green Set

I feel that I am too busy to post, but I am trying to be sure that I set aside time to each day.  It's a bitch!  Anyhow, I made this set in mint green, the new "it" color for spring.  I am behind a day or 2 or something.  Wha' happened?

Day 26: Gray Pearl and Black Necklace

Attended my daughter's band concert and when we got back, for some reason I got an idea for this necklace set.  And then I had to listen to Kriss Kross "Jump."  Try it.  You'll feel better. :)

Days 25: Painting and a Cluster

When I say painting and a cluster, I'm not talking about my house painting gone awry.  This time, I continued on with the painting over the olive green, and managed to get my hallway done- whew!  And, tonight, I also managed to get into my jewelry room to make up this cluster necklace that has beads reclaimed from other necklaces.

My current painting progress, and the necklace.  I'm too tired to write anymore.  Time to snuggle down and watch an episode of Breaking Bad, methinks.

Day 23-24 (and possible into perpetuity): Painting the Living Room

Let me make this perfectly clear.  I despise painting as much as I would despise having bamboo shoots shoved under my fingernails.  However, my walls have deteriorated to the point of no return.  They must be painted.  Not only are they olive green (a real hit with the teal carpet the house came with) but they give off a depressing air.  The color I chose, quickly and nearly at random is called "malted milk," but it's looking pretty apartment paint white to me.  It had better darken up a touch.

So, in the spirit of spring, I got a mad whim to go and paint these horrendous walls.  Why is it when you decide to paint you see the GAJILLION marks on the walls.  Where have I been?  I didn't see all of them till now, and now they stick out like crazy.


What the hell was I thinking?  I HATE PAINTING.  Now, 72 bucks deep into paint later, here I am working on the walls.  Yes, they look better.  Yes, it gives off a brighter vibe.  Yes, I suppose I'll like it when they are done.  There is olive green everywhere.  E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E.

Here's a peek at just 2 walls, which have taken 2 coats (so far).  I only have 7 or 8 left to go.  Sigh.

My daughter is also going to be in a presentation at school, where she has to be a female photographer from the 40's.  She requested a feather hat, but this fascinator will do nicely, I think.  I can't wait to give it to her!  Excuse my grungy modeling job!
