IWTMT: A Trio of Necklaces

Right, so I had jewelry on the IWTMT last week. But that was a knitted bracelet and this week's is a crocheted necklace, so that's totally different! (I'm reaching and I know it.)

A Trio of Necklaces (Rav) is a free tutorial on -- however did you guess? -- how to make 3 crocheted necklaces.

I've worked with the flexible beading wire, but I imagine this calls for something a bit more mold-able. I'll have to go to the store and see what's there. I've definitely got enough beads for this!

I'm a Winner!

I ended up winning one of the One World, One Heart giveaways and I just received my gift in the mail yesterday. I was so anxious and pleased for it to come, since I have very little of what I call "grown-up jewelry". I won Briana Tomlin's giveaway and she was gracious enough to send me the prize I preferred, a little pendant covered in words!

It arrived wrapped in a scrap of a Yukon map and a book page, which I absolutely love the thought of and would do myself if I could bear to rip my books up.

Since I'm not self-photographing well today (and can't figure out how to make my new haircut look as cute in pictures as it does in life), you get an "artistic" shot of me wearing my prize.



Isn't that so me?

By the way, there's still time to enter MY giveaway, since I'll be drawing the winner on March 12th. Please see this entry for details.
