Saturday, my friends Sarah and Amy and I decided to have a girls/craft day!  Most of the crafts I’ve been wanting to do are household related and since Ben and I STILL HAVE NOT found a house, those will all have to wait.  So I decided to go with something that I could enjoy immediately… jewelry!

Ever since my sister was making jewelry and beading back in high school, I’ve wanted to try it.  She always made such pretty things that were very similar to items in the store that cost lots of money.  So I decided I’d make a very simple beaded bracelet.  We headed to Joann Fabrics for crafting supplies where I decided to go with copper wire and turquoise beads.

While Sarah worked on her amazing curtains and Amy created beautiful artwork for her home, I meticulously added bead by bead to my copper wire in a nice and organized pattern.  I was very happy with the result and think I’d like to keep learning and crafting jewelry   The finished product looks like this:

Can’t wait to make my next work of art!
