Jewelry: The Final Frontier

Hola!

Remember when I mentioned that I was starting a new craft endeavor? With the help of a tutorial by Sarah Ortega, practice finally made perfect with these necklaces:

Birds nest, made possible by my super handy, soon to be forever boyfriend, Todd.

To me, this one has a Manifest Destiny sentiment. I’m a total sucker for charms.

Another nest with more textured beads for the eggs. Omelettes anyone?

Also, I’m pleased to announce that my six year search for the perfect record player stand has come to an end. Thank you Roxy’s Funky Art Boutique! Hagglers welcome!

I may need to downsize my record collection, eek! Anyways, I’ll be making some handmade earrings later, I’ll be sure to post if those turn out as well as the necklaces did.

Happy Saturday!!

Hello!

If you’ve never been to Norman, Oklahoma, please stop by. This weekend we had our annual Music Festival and it was bodacious! Our friends Ira and Alex came down from KC and we all camped out at our friend Pam’s house after the festival. Music, friends, campfire, and spirits; my idea of a good time.

I know the guy who runs this graphic design place, we may go in on some projects to sell on Etsy. We shall see.

I’ll toast to that!

Jay had to help me find Van Morrison. Of course! In the “M” section!

I bought this for Todd. He turned 24 recently and what better way to celebrate? With a new tank top by Brad.

Arts market: I did end up buying a necklace from my old friend Jordan.

Jay got the cajun pasta, and he didn’t recommend it. It looked like a good idea at the time?

Dag, yo!

Downtown, USA.

The sign when you enter Norman says we’re a city of festivals. It’s true. And when those festivals wind down, we have Jazz in June. I’m looking forward to those Sunday evenings at Lion’s park this summer. More to come!

Happy Sunday!
