I've basically been doing nothing but clinging to my couch since Saturday morning.I got one of those colds that isn't just an annoying distraction, but rather a debilitating, knock-you-on-your-butt, can't breathe, can't sleep, can't move, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, headachey, nose-is-raw-from-blowing-every-2-minutes, tormenting affliction.
Not to complain. I've got a sweet husband who has been bringing me cough drops and hot herbal tea, cooking spicy food for me (to help clear everything out...plus it's about the only thing I can taste), running to the store for tissues with lotion and generally waiting on me hand and foot. And a sweet doggie who snuggles and keeps me company.
So being sick isn't ALL bad. ;)
In between blowing my nose incessantly, slathering on menthol ointment, pounding what feels like 14 gallons of fluids a day and watching WAY too much TV, I needed to find something to distract me and make me feel as though there is some merit to my snotty existence.
I decided to pull out some of the beads that Scott bought me for Christmas and try to get the creative juices flowing along with the mucus juices. (Sorry for that mental image there, but I couldn't resist - hee hee!)
I combined these pink crazy agate beads with saltwater pearls and silver etched accent beads and pendant.
There were enough beads to make a matching bracelet...
and earrings.
I really love how they turned out. Now I just need to get feeling better so I can get out of the house and wear my little accomplishment!

You need to get an ETSY site. That's a great set. I love the bracelet.
you should do an enrichment monthly thing on making jewelry and then you should try selling some of your designs!!!
Wow, so beautiful! This post cracked me up! Especially this... "feel as though there is some merit to my snotty existence." You're hilarious. Thanks again for the enrichment night. It was so fun!
