Beads!!!

OH NO...NOT ANOTHER HOBBY!!! That's what my mom prob thought when I told her I wanted to make bracelets for myself. I was like a fish out of water when I went to the store to pick out the beads etc. Luckily the sales clerk found me a book to help out and after about 2 hours I had chosen enough beads to make myself a few braclets. I came home and was surprised how fast they went together. I'm HOOKED!!! In addition, the beading wire that I purchased will work great for crochet projects too...so that's next...crocheting with beads!!!

Weekend Fun

So this weekend I went to Columbus to visit with my old college roomie that lives in Pittsburgh. Her and her boyfriend were in Ohio for a wedding on Sat. so on Sunday we met up and gave him a tour of our old campus...so why did it have to rain??? Because it's Equine Affaire weekend and it ALWAYS rains or snows! Aargh. However, she informed me that her sister is FINALLY trying to get pregnant!!! Yay Nicki!!! Now perhaps this Christening gown I'm working on will have a home by the time it gets finished!!! This gown is about 4 rows into production and is sitting here staring at me...serious distraction for anything else I want to start. Therefore I'm sitting here on the computer accomplishing absolutely nothing!
I'm in need of some serious motivation. I think I might clean the living room and put all this yarn etc. back into it's respective bin...then perhaps I can focus on something once again. Anyone have any suggestions as to what kind of critter I should make next??? Or should it even be a critter? Someone MOTIVATE me!!!!

Some Recent Ami's



These are some of my recent projects. The apple and turtle can be found in my etsy shop The Awkward Armadillo. If you would like the turtle in a different color or a bunny in the color of your choice feel free to convo me on etsy to have one made just for you! I can also make many other different animals, so if you don't see what you are looking for just ask!!!
