Not sure what I was procrastinating at the time, but one day recently I did a big overhaul and cleaned it out. Got rid of stuff I haven't worn in forever. Organized my organizer. Bagged up a bunch for consignment. And made a pile of "to be fixed".
Crystal {the same friend from above} brought her jewelry tools over one day on a recent Saturday Crafternoon and fixed them right up! And she even made lunch, mmmm {Thanks Crystal!}
Check out her handy work:

| Crystal gave me the earrings on the left <3 |

| I found these at an Estate Sale last fall, but they had crappy old screw on posts. I love my "new" vintage earrings! |
Speaking of jewelry, I thought I'd share with you my all time favorites. These are pieces that I'm rarely ever seen without. Coincidentally, they're all handcrafted by Amanda {Kat} Shaw, the artist behind Unseelie Designs.

| I bought this in December 2009 and haven't taken it off since. Really, I wear it day and night! |
As of late, I've added another multiple personality to my collection: A model. I can't find anyone willing to pose for my Aisle3 product shots, so I've resorted to doing it myself. Self Portrait/Fashion Photographer/Modeling is not easy! Here's what it took for me to get just ONE good shot of the vintage earrings above:
Okay, enough about me. What was your last crafty date?
Speaking of you...I still need your help to decide which of these tutorials to do next!
Talk soon,

It's not quite a crafty 'date', per se, but my roommate and I have been spending our evenings watching TV and doing cross-stitch together, which is nice.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds nice! I haven't had tv in awhile, I think I might be jealous of that alone, haha!
ReplyDeleteI vote pin cushion. :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you shared how many times it took you to get the right pic of those earrings (which are fabulous)- I don't have a model or a photographer either, just me!, so I bought a dressform for my necklaces. Earrings... well that's a matter I haven't fully figured out!

That's so weird that it won't let you sign in :/ Yes, the modeling thing is not my favorite, but I guess we have to do what we have to do!
ReplyDeletePS: thanks for the vote Stephanie!
