Friendship Bracelets

Just a quick post for you all tonight, I have been busy trying to get stuck into some uni work I had for over the Christmas holidays - one assignment down, two more to go before the 13th! Yuck..

I thought I would update you on how my friendship bracelets are coming along (sorry about the c-r-a-p photos.. you can just about make the pattern out!!) They're really easy to create once you get going, and sorta addictive, I have to sit down and finish it all in one go, they don't take too long. I have a favourite design (the one that takes the longest to make.. out of the five designs I have learnt so far..)



Pretty sweet?

Thats all for now, I should be back tomorrow with a quick congratulations card for a friend who has just got engaged, and perhaps a shot at the new Mojo Monday!!

Night. xo

New Embroidery Floss

So, I braved the sales today, on a mission to find embroidery floss. Just before Christmas I bought a 'Friendship Bracelet' kit (I'm sure I've posted about this before on my blog.. anywho..). It was obviously made for kiddies, as some of the colours were awful. But the patterns (of which there were five in total, if my memory serves me correctly..) So I made a bargain with myself, if I could hold off making pointless horrid coloured bracelets that I wouldn't wear, until after Christmas, I would take myself embroidery floss shopping. Well, I couldn't wait much longer..

So here are the 11 colours I got today, 75p a.. a.. what would you call it? a roll? a strip? what? from The Yorkshire Trading Company..


Some of my fave ever colours, blue brown and red! :) They make me happy much. So after I have a little session with some digis and create some cards, I'm going to get some of these bad boys cut to length and start another bracelet. I have made one previously (again, I'm sure I've posted about this on here..) which was brown, blue, white and green. Tis pretty nice, but I know its in me to make a nicer one! :)

Thats all for now. Have a nice day. xo

[P.S You may notice my picture is a different size to my usual, that is because I have eventually found the charger for my Samsung camera, so I'm going to see how that works out!]
