Day 95

Hey all!
Today I had class and then a series of unfortunate events.  I can't even relay them to you right now, my day was just not going well.  Then I decided to make the best out of things, and coupled with some gorgeous weather and a successful meeting, the day pretty much turned around.


I decided it was ring time again this evening, mostly because I'm really tired and rings turn out really well with a lot less of a time commitment, if I'm being particularly honest.  I also want you to know that this ring is weird but I am in love with it.

Day 94

Hey all!

Today I got a filling redone, or something weird like that, at the dentist office.  I was wearing some earrings I made, and they commented that I should be an orthodontist because of my wirework.  Serious?  Joking?  I'm not sure, but I took it as the dentist form of a compliment.  And then I opened my mouth and let them drill my tooth.  Fun.

Afterwards, I went to the mall and got a dress for graduation and some "working girl pants."  I don't mean street worker pants, I'm talking about professional attire people!  I was really excited to finally find some professional pants, because I really need to start building up a work wardrobe.  Anyways, you're not here to hear about my shopping adventures, on to the earrings!

Day 93

Hey all!

I have an announcement.  It may be kind of abrupt, but I'm giving you a few days to adjust.  I made the executive decision to conclude the blog at Day 100.  I am in a sense failing in my mission, but I have been really successful on this journey so I don't necessarily consider it a failure.  As much as I like blogging, it is also a little stress everyday that I don't need as I finish up my last year in college and move onto the real world.  I force myself to stay awake until I've finished blogging, and if I miss it then my guilt complex kicks in.  It's becoming a burden rather than something fun.  So, I need to stop.  I hope you'll forgive me!  We still have a week left together, maybe longer if I miss a day.  I will not stop making jewelry, and I'll be better about updating my etsy.  Don't you forget about me!

This morning I decided to announce to you my decision, and to pair it with a ring.

Day 92

Hey all!

I'm falling asleep as I write this, so let's hope for both our sakes that I make it to pushing the "publish post" button before I reach my limit.

Today I went into Boston to meet up with a friend.  We had coffee and then walked around for a little while in a main shopping area.  It was not a successful shopping endeavor, but it was a nice day.  When we parted ways I went somewhere else to continue my shopping hunt, with no more luck than before.

Tonight I had dinner at a friend's house with a few other people.  It was really nice to see some old friends, catch up, and have a good meal.

The earrings I made today are similar to the green ones I made the other day, because I used the square wire to make a frame on which I could wrap wire and beads.

Day 91

Hey all!

Today I went to a dressmaker to get measured for a bridesmaid dress.  Did I tell you all I'm a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding this summer?  Well, now you know!  I should also tell you I got that internship I interviewed for in New York for the summer.  Things are happening, people!

After the dressmaker appointment, which took all of five minutes, I went on a mall run with my mother.  My goal was to find something to wear for graduation.  I came back with nada.  Better luck next time I guess.

I decided today was another ring kind of day.  My magical square wire makes me want to make rings all the time.

Day 90

Hey all!

I didn't blog yesterday because I was sneezy and sick and didn't feel like doing any activity other than watching tv on the couch and sleeping in my bed.  I'm feeling better now, it was just a cold, so I'm back in the world of the living.

Before I was so sneezy I didn't want to do anything, I went into Boston to go to an interview, a bead store, and to see a friend.  It was actually really lovely until my immune system got mad at me.  At the bead store I bought some nice silver chain and a lot of teardrop beads.  I call this bead store my "pretty bead store" because it's where I go when I want elegant beads, not necessarily the place for funky beads.  So I stocked up on pretty teardrop beads and some silver components.

Day 89

Hey all!

Last night I was tired so I skipped blogging.  Soon I may need to come to terms with the fact that the original goal of my blog may not be possible.  I allotted 35 skip days for a 400 day time span.  So far, I've skipped about 16 and I'm only on day 89.  We'll see what happens, but I may need to revise my goals.  More on that some other time.

Today I helped my mother cook for our Passover meal, and watched a bunch of TV.  Nothing to write home about.  Then we had a nice family Passover dinner and ushered in a week of matzah.  Ick.

I used some square wire to make frames for earrings.  I then wrapped some wire on them and attached some of my new beads.
