Hi everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was one of creativity.
It started off with some friends over for a craft day on Friday. Of course you can't start a craft day without a run to the craft store first
After that adventure it was time to sit down and craft, well almost craft. Lol. There was a lot of chit chat going on and I'm not sure about anyone else that was there, but I didn't get as much done as I had planned. Still it was fun and we'll be doing it again this week.
Saturday was an adventure with some shopping and price checking. Word of advice don't go to the thrift store on a Saturday in Utah unless you're not prone to road rage or yelling at stupid people. Lol.
The bead store visit was interesting because it was a shop I'd never been in before and I just loved the selection they had. On top of that the sales associates were very nice and asked about the necklace,
Captured Pearls, I was wearing.
As we were chatting about it an older lady, who I found out later is the owner of the shop, came over and started to ask questions. It seemed as if every answer I gave brought forth a new question and I happily kept answering. She seemed very interested which made me happy. When we were done talking she thanked me and my friend, Austin, and I left, eager to use our new purchases
We ventured to my house for our weekly fire pit. Since it had rained we couldn't get a fire lit and decided to stay inside. That was going to be one of the best decisions of the week.
As people began showing up and seeing us work on our creations they began to get creative also. Then an idea hit Debbrah and after setting her up with some wire, she began to work. As I watched I began to get excited at all the possibilities that could come from this sudden inspiration. She finished her creation and I began one.
Austin made
rings out of them both, Debbrah's is the one on the right, and I set out to make a
bracelet.
As I worked on the longer weave, Debbrah used some spare viking knit I had and made a
snake, Austin finished his amber and jade necklace, Michelle quietly (it was a little shocking she could be quiet for so long
) worked on her viking weave and we watched Case 39.
I spent the rest of the night working on the weave and thinking of ways to use it.
All in all it was a good weekend.
If anyone has any idea what this weave is called please let me know.
