College :)

6 hours.

That's all the time that remains until I move into my new home and I'm so super excited!! When I was packing up the car, I ended up turning it into a giant game of tetris without meaning too. All the boxes just fit so perfectly!!

I'm going to be half an hour from my house, which isn't too bad, but it's separation and that's good :)

I'm laying in the living room, listening to a playlist on Spotify and watching infomercials about a robotic vacumn. Pretty nifty. Maybe I could use that for my dorm haha :D I'll be sure to post some pictures of my lovely dorm once it's all decorated. <3

Making my own jewelry.

Yep, that's right.
Currently, about 30% of my jewelry is handmade.

Mostly it is bracelets because they are the simplest to make. And after I move into my dorm [in THREE days], I'll try to get a tutorial up :)

If you want to make one, you're going to need :

Pliers [roundnose and clipping]
Jumprings [medium and small ones]
Headpins [Either with a round or flat head]
Beads [Most of mine use pearls, but for the tutorial, I will be using simple black beads]
Chain [Long enough to fit tightly around your wrist]
Closure [either a lobster or c-clasp]

And that SHOULD be it.

I know it seems like a lot, but in reality, I only use 11 headpins per row [we'll only be making 2 rows. One with beads, the other with chain], so a $2 pack of 100 from Walmart will work wonders! [hey, it's what I use!!]
