I had an order for a few bracelets, so while I had my enticing tubs of beads out to play with, I whipped up a few extra for myself and for my display at Good Juju. This soon became a pile of over sixty completed pieces.
Seriously, have you ever made one? You cannot stop at one!
I’m like an addict as I tell myself, okay, this is plenty…well maybe just a couple more then I’ll quit. Hours later I’m still repeating that to myself as the dogs are crying for their dinner, my back is cramped up from sitting at my desk, and my vision is blurry from the close work.
The sales of beaded bracelets at my booth are spotty, but over time I notice the stacks dwindling down, so I guess the few here and there that shoppers get do add up.
As much as I love crafting them, I wish the gradual diminished inventory would go more quickly,
But that is also why I have so many varying items for sale. A little bit of that, a little bit of this, you never know what our guests will be looking for and I certainly enjoy making many different things.
I am blessed to have found a venue where I can sell my hodge podge of arts, crafts, vintage bits, and jewelry.
And any day that I have an excuse to rifle through my gemstone bead collection is an extra wonderful day.
When I first got the order of 8, I was going to gather them from the ones still at the mall. But I soon realized there was no fun in that, and used it as a good reason to get my pretties out to work with.
After creating a few I thought that I would be nice to fill the order, I started thinking about the group they were being gifted to. These were meant for some gals who got together every week and called themselves the Thirsty Thursday bunch.
The perfection inspiration to make beverage toned bracelets! I hope they all get a kick out of these like I did.
