I made necklaces!



I'm not usually what you would call a 'beader' or 'jewellery maker'. I like makings things though so I just went with it when my brain decided to buy some beads and cord on Thursday and give it a crack.


I had this vague idea in my head of what I was after and I knew I'd need to learn how to do those adjustable slip knot thingos since I wasn't keen on using clasps and scary tools etc. You Tube, as always, showed me the way and I must say it was significantly easier than I imagined. Check it out here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NN9loNl9PA (she's got such a lovely accent!)


The slip knot!




So, the pics speak for themselves I think? After what's been a fairly eventful week it was such a relaxing afternoon sitting by the window. Heater on, cup of tea, my new scented candle burning...

Foggy morning...

Woke up to some thick old fog this morning in the nations capital. A quick pit stop past the lake on the way to work was well worth it. Got some gorgeous shots! Have to let you in on a little secret though.... I can't take all the credit. The new Loftus lens I got for my Hipstamatic app last weekend is seriously AWESOME. My goodness it takes a cracker shot - love it, love it, love it.
