Can Winter Go Away Now?!?

Last week, we were treated with a cozy 65 degree weather. The very next day, it went down to half, and the very next next day, it was a frosty 9 degrees. Woah!

Needless to say, there wasn't much to do outside without the risk of a finger breaking off or having my daughter's cheeks turn a rosy red, so I sat at my work station and decided to think of new designs.
She could be a Campbell's Soup baby!
In my attempt to lure in the warmer weather, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to make beach jewelry. There was an earlier attempt back in January when I utilized actual beach shells, stones, and sand but I haven't had much success with them. There have been many views and likes on Etsy, but only one purchase.

I got on the iPad and searched my supplier shops for the items that I needed to make my bracelets. Having my Etsy lists makes searching so easy. I was able to find all my supplies within half an hour. (Probably sooner if I hadn't had to stop the Underwear Thief.)

"I'm just going to put these where you won't find them."


Once I received my items, I sat at my work station and started beading away. Here is what I came up with so far:


The adventure continues tonight!
