Happy New Year 2007! We had a wonderful New Year's celebration with family, friends, ono food and fireworks! The girls actually went surfing on New Years Day. It was a beautiful day here in Hawaii!
I did go off my diet for a couple of days eating all of the onolicious (yummy! here in Hawaii) food! However, I did meet my goal a couple of days before by losing a total of 37 pounds! I was officiallly not obese (weight wise) for a couple of days! Yay! Then came the onolicious food - oh, oh. I gained a few pounds - yikes! But not to worry. I am back on my diet today and went jogging and walking this morning so I'm back on track - yay!
I actually did some crafting on New Year's Day while the girls were at the beach. My sister-in-law, Andy, brought a bunch of handmade beads that she created and let me string them up to make a chunky necklace! Woo Hoo! Here's a picture of the necklace and some close-ups so you can see the details of her awesome handmade beads! She made some washi paper covered beads, some fabric knotted beads, and a couple of hand beaded beads.
I also made a new bracelet with the help of Andy. She taught me how to make a dutch spiral bracelet and let me use a lot of her supplies. Here's how it turned out! I love it!
I finished up with a pair of simple earrings with a green fresh water pearl and a austrian crystal on ear earring. It was cute, but I can't show you a picture because I gave it to one of my sister-in-laws that day. I plan to make more so I'll post when I make them.
Thanks Andy! For making my very first day in 2007 a crafty one!
The bracelet is fab! I love the look it has of sea grass and water. Good job.
