Cleaning Up The Mess

When I bought strands of beads not all of them are likely to be used in my project, I mean how many beads you could used in couple set of jewelry...there are always extras and as always put it aside until forgotten and again the same cycle buy another strands of beads.

While I was clearing and organizing my working table I've found some loose beads of different colors of gemstones. Not just beads but some of it is fine wires that I've bought and forgot to use and the remaining wires that left from previous project . So after clearing up my own mess in my table I decided to make something of the loosed beads and the wires.

This is an extra long necklace that I've crocheted with gold color cord thread and loose beads that I've gathered.

I've made a crocheted bracelet from the fine brass wire that left from previous project that I had made before.

I love this mokite ring from one of the tumbled stone left.

Sometimes we forgot what we have in our organizers, boxes and containers until it is checked, and for me that has a small working table for my on going project and a small space to pile my boxes and my only solution to remember for what I have is by labeling each box by color, name of beads and more labeling for different kinds of materials used in every project like, findings, charms and types of metals. This way it saves me from buying thinking that I don't have the materials to be used.

Cheers,

Gracie :)

Be Your Son's Personal Barber

Why pay a couple of dollars to a hair salon for children if you can do it yourself. Be a personal barber to your child it will save more money especially moms who is budgeting tightly. I cut my son's hair since he is 3 years old, his first hair cut actually I did. He have curly and puffy hair so almost every three months I trim it or cut it short and it saves me a lot of paying to a hair dresser for the amount of $15 or more no way. As for my husband who is paying more also save him or for both of us which he goes every 2-3 weeks. Since I bought my hair clipper Panasonic for home use three years ago a really big difference used it for my two big guys :) while going to a hair salon which will pay more. Well cutting their hair is just courage and dealing with toddlers or older talking to them while trimming their hair will make them stay put because most of the time they are whining.

Crocheted Jewelry

For the past few weeks especially during the "Pesach Holiday" which is almost three weeks for school holidays and a time for me to play and make something new. It always delight me the way crocheting works, the knits and waving technique and I know there are artisans that work and design only in knitting and crocheting especially in wire and I really love there work. Like a student I always love to learn and know new technique from the past post I've design and made the crocheted wire bracelet in simple chain as I've search the youtube for more info about crocheting wire it makes me more determined to make more crocheted jewelry and it is all about manipulating wire with simple chain.
