My New Hobby

While my cousin Bonni was here she did something dreadful....she got me into a new hobby. I have too many hobbies and she got me addicted to a new one. Bad Bonni! She has started making jewelry and taught me how to while she was here. She also made me some lovely earrings I have been wearing constantly.

Here are some of the necklaces I have made so far.I am working on matching earrings.

I have another 2 strand one that I think is going to be really awesome. I loosely based it on this necklace I saw on Anthropologie's site. I have to buy more beads for it though. I love the knots in that one but I am using beads and different colors. I just got the idea of how they used color and size.

I have been making things like crazy especially since Christmas is coming up. Unfortunately I can't show them because I don't want the recipients to see their presents. You'll just get to see the 101 necklaces I make for myself. One fun thing is Renata also got into the beading and is making necklaces. I taught her to do a pattern and stick to certain color schemes. It is a fun thing for us to do together.
