What I did on my holidays...

On the other hand, since we were walking to the local shop anyway I bribed the kids with icecreams to clean their rooms and sweep up all the leaves in the driveway (there were a lot).
Once Andy came back I discovered that the art supply shop at TTP was having a sale on jewellery making kits. Five for $15. Bargain I thought. So I got some for me and Erin because she likes crafty things and it's always handy to have time fillers in school holidays. I promptly got hooked, and went back and got five more. Because I totally need another hobby...
Anyway, here are some of the things I made, below the cut to save load time...

A three stranded bracelet with a leaf-and-berry kind of dangly bit (see how I'm up with the terminology here?)

Some dangly things. Technically they are 'bag charms' which means you clip them onto your handbag or something like that, but I guess you could use them as keychains too. I really like the blue one.

A necklace. I also really like this one, perhaps because it reminds me a little of a necklace one of my great grandmothers used to have (except the beads in hers were more like Smarties).

Another dangly thing.


These two are of another bracelet. I quite like this one too. It seems kind of art deco to me, but that might just be the chain tassel, which you can't see very well in either of these pictures. I'm wearing it right now if only to find out whether or not I can type in it.
Next thing, to go and look up mediaeval jewellery...
