Hey all!
I know you're probably going to hate me for this, perhaps even stop checking my blog, but I need to skip again. Again, you ask? I know, an earring a day is starting to be more like an earring a week. But please bear with me. I'm a college student trying to keep those shining grades and sometimes the rest of my life has to suffer a little. I have reading for a class tomorrow and a big midterm exam on Thursday that requires reading and studying, and in addition to all that I would love some sleep. So please don't hate me for not having half an hour to spare for earrings. And I promise I'll be back here in no time.
Love and Beads,
Eve

Day 56
Hey all!
Today we had a snow day. It was fabulous. Well it was actually a really long day of doing homework that was supposed to be due today, but at least I got to sleep late! I also finished my work just in time for trivia night, a Monday night tradition (rain or snow or shine). In the end it was a fairly successful and half enjoyable day. Sorry for not mustering up that much enthusiasm but let's be honest, a snow day spent inside with homework? Lame!
Remember those green beads I used yesterday? Well the friend who gave me them (or the earrings I took them from) also gave me some awesome vintage military beads. I've been struggling for months trying to find something cool to do with them. Today, it was necklace time.

Day 55
Hey all!
Sorry for skipping a day again! I had a super busy Saturday and basically came home, brought my basket of tools to my bed and then fell asleep before making anything. Bright side: I was particularly motivated this morning to get today's earrings done early.
The earrings I made this morning use parts from a pair of earrings my friend gave me. That's right folks, I'm running an earring chop shop.

Day 54
Hey all!
Today was a lovely unproductive day. Fridays always seem like a potential goldmine of free time to do homework but it never turns out that way. Then Sunday has to compensate for Friday fun. Oh well!
I helped my friend Marissa (shout-out to my loyal blog reader) make some earrings from the beads she got at the bead store on our last adventure. They turned out so well! If I had a picture, I would put them up here. I've helped people make earrings a couple times before and it's so interesting because they are always so different from the things I make. It's great to see that with the same basic ingredients (beads and wire) people can do such creative and different things, and how everyone's mind works differently. Awesome.
On to today's earrings! I made some small earrings that I love, but I think they need to be accompanied by an explanation.

Day 53
Hey all!
Today I went to class and got a haircut (and color, which I never do!). Then I made some chicken for dinner. Grocery shopping was another highlight of the day. Now I'm watching old SNL episodes online and falling asleep. It's the weekend soon and that may bring some more exciting stories to tell you.
I have had some funky freshwater pearls hanging around for a while and I didn't know what to do of them because of their interesting shape. Finally tonight I decided to try a red bead and pearl combination. I think it worked!

Day 52
Hey all!
Today I woke up at noon. It was a lovely catch up on sleep situation. Then I procrastinated for a while and finally did some homework. After that I went to the class I'd been doing the homework for. I hung out with some friends after class and that basically brings us to now.
The earrings I made today use these cool beads I picked up during my recent bead store trip, along with a funky bead from Bern, Switzerland. Ah, the memories.

Day 51
Hey all!
I have been in a constant state of craziness for 3 days straight, and sadly blogging and making earrings had to fall by the wayside. I am back now, and besides being super sleepy I am glad to be back in the land of the sane and unstressed. I had a lovely day today (well other than pulling an all-nighter...) which included movies and some bowling. And in the middle of the week too, what a luxury!
The earrings I made today use some beads from the last time I went to the bead store. I used wire to hang green and white beads down a little, then attached a white bead to the top.
