Almost summer!!!!!

Hey guys! Unfortunately I did not get the chance to make a bracelet or necklace this week.  I've been so busy with work and lacrosse.  My team made it into the playoffs for the first time in five years! So, now we play Hamilton on Friday.  It's gunna be a tough game.  Hamilton's the best in my league and seated second best over all the division three teams.  If we all play 100% it is possible to win though.  Wish me luck!

I have been crammed with work for weeks.  It's terrible.  I haven't stopped working.  I need summer to come so badly.  It's almost here!!!!! No more work, no class, and so much time in the sun! can't wait.

Since Tuesday is the last day of class I will probably have more time this week than I did last week.  I plan to make at least one maybe two v-stitch bright bracelets.  Since my other ones are getting a little dull from last summer,  I think I need to make new ones.  The problem is I don't have much bright string left.  I just have green.  So i'll probably make a bright green and white bracelet.  Either that or a bright green and black bracelet.  Not sure yet.  What do you guys think? Which would look better? wellll I gotta run to class now! I have beginning weight training.  Gotta get all toned for bathing suit season!!

Matching bracelet!

Hey guys! Today, April 26 it is finally warm and sunny outside in Saratoga! After two weeks of rain and cold weather, it is about time!

This week I have decided to create a bracelet to match last weeks necklace.  This is mostly because I some extra string and beads that were used on the last necklace.  I used one pink bead, one green bead, and two black beads.  I evenly spread them out throughout the bracelet with stitches in between.  In order to give this bracelet the ability to come off without cutting it, I tied a big knot at the end that fits right through a hole on the other end.  This makes it easy to take off and put on without needed a pair of sizers.  I can't wait to give all the bracelets and necklaces I made to my younger cousins!

There's only one more week of school left. Then one week of finals.  Then, I get to go home and give my cousins the cool stuff I made.  They're going to love it!

Hey guys. I apologize in advance for not being very enthusiastic.  This rainy weather is bringing me down.  It is already April 20th and its suppose to only get to a high of 55 and be rainy all week.  Everyone is so sick of it.  Hopefully next week it will be warm and sunny.  Next week is funday, which is an event when everyone goes out on the green all day and plays games and socializes.  I am so lucky I get to attend.  Usually the lacrosse players have a game and can not make it.  The seniors on my team say they have never been to funday.  I'm a freshman and I get to go! It's a lucky year.  

Anyway, Since it has been so rainy I decided to make a bracelet and even a necklace to match this week to cheer myself up!  I wasn't in the mood for bright colors due to the lack of sunshine outside, but I used these cool faded color beads ad hemp string, which is a tanish color string.  As you can see in the picture above I used some black smaller beads and alternated them with bigger more colorful beads.  I used green, black, blue, and pink colored beads.  I made a necklace, but I made it too small to fit my neck.  Fortunately, I have younger cousins with smaller necks that would love to have it!  It even has a gray bead at the end of the necklace so it can be taken off and on without being cut.  This is great for when my cousin has athletic games and cannot wear any form of jewelry.  She can wear it whenever she wants and take it off without ruining it!

My plan was to go home this weekend for Easter, but unfortunately I cannot anymore due to the great amount of work my professors have given me this weekend.  My cousin will have to wait to receive the necklace.

hey guys! If you didn't see I posted a picture of the bracelet I made last week with the shells, and a picture of the one I made this week.  The top one is the one from last week, and the bottom is this weeks bracelet.

Usually I get all my string at  Micheal's Art's and Crafts near home on Long Island.  There doesn't seem to be one of those around here.  Or at least not that I now of.  Since I don't have a car up at Skidmore I don't have much of a chance to explore.  Good thing there isn't much time left of school because I'm running out of string! I have a lot of different color greens so I decided to use them on this weeks bracelet.

I you look back at my older posts I posted some of the same sort of bracelets.  It's what I call the V stitch. I used four different colors of green and doubled them so the bracelets made out of eight strings, two of each color.  I'm thinkin I'm going to give it to my family friend because she loves the color green.  Anyway I got class now.  It's time to take a test!

spring time!!!!!

Finally it's spring! yayyyy. I'm still not completely satisfied with the temperature but it's getting there! kind of.  The weather forecast says we are suppose to get snow tomorrow night unfortunately, but the rest of the week it will around 50 as the high.  

This week I decided to make a bracelet more on the spring side.  It has blue beads and shells! although right now is not the time I would start wearing a bracelet that included shells, I made it to make myself feel better about the miserable weather we have been having up here at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.  Today it actually snowed. The first day of april it snowed.  Unbelievable.  

Well anyway, in order to not feel so down due to the weather, I made a bracelet to cheer myself up, even though the bracelets I made will probably not be worn for a few weeks, maybe months.    The shell bracelet happens to be an ankle bracelet so it has to be worn when it is not pants weather anymore. However, I also made a bracelet just made with white string, which can be worn on my wrist.  It turn out to be as cool as I thought it would be.  Now I know to just not make another.
