More Beads Being Used!

I made these simple necklaces the other day, I looooove the red one!!! I was looking through my closet and was surprised to find how few red accessories I have… as in… none.  A search through the bead bins followed. Some twine and only a few beads later I have red!

And the black will hopefully help tie together some outfits.

Green Beans

We got a bunch of green beans from our garden, we had to get a second container when we were picking them! We are so excited, last year we only got a handful. This year we may actually have enough for a few meals! We also got a few sweet peppers, and the tomatoes are coming along.

Cardboard Paper Tubes!

Oh how I wish that I saved these amazing tubes of creativity more often! Unfortunately they are slightly difficult to store while waiting for the creativity to develop. I am in the middle of a project that uses these tubes to make wall art! AMAZING! There is nothing like making something from free materials!

I’ve been collecting toilet paper rolls for this project and have been hoping that a roll of paper towels would run out soon, more cardboard.:) But today I was wrapping gifts (we have a birthday coming up) and my mind exploded with the thought of gift wrapping rolls!!! Oh how wonderfully short would my quest for cardboard be if only one of the rolls would run out! I would start triple wrapping gifts if it wasn’t such a waste of paper.:(

Stackable Bracelets

I had the idea yesterday to string some of the beads I had laying around on elastic and use them as stackable bracelets until I need them for another project! I love all of the pictures I’ve seen of stacked bracelets, and now I have some! Yay!!!

One Skirt, Day Three

The final outfit! Okay, I tried to change things up a bit today. I was going to wear something else with the skirt, but decided it looked too much like the first day. This is probably the most comfortable of the three outfits!:) Thank you Olivia, Ashley, and Natasha for starting all of this, it was so much fun!!!:)

  

   

Ugh, self timer pictures are no fun!

  • Clothing: Goodwill
  • Shoes: Target (from Goodwill)
  • Bracelets: Beads I had laying around, so I decided to string them on elastic to go with this outfit.
    • Note: not wearing bracelets in the first two shots. 🙂

One Skirt, Day Two

Yay! I came up with another outfit, and was able to use a summer scarf that I don’t wear very much! I think everything I’m wearing is from Goodwill! 😉

As I said, I love these buttons! I also took a picture of the lace on the lining:
