Hi everyone... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

lol... here are 3 necklaces I made yesterday, and my attempt to crochet:





I'm in love with these beads. The pack of beads was a lot, but worth every penny. They're just beatiful. Olive green, cylinder shaped, and faceted on the outside. I used every single bead in this necklace.



These beads were pretty cool, too. They're triangle shaped, and they were a bit cheaper than the olive beads.



Ahhh, the shell necklace. Pretty proud of it. You guys helped me figure out how to get a hole into the shell...





I didn't end up using the drill, but a pair of scissors. I just scraped away at it for a while, being really careful. I have a bunch of other shells that I plan on putting holes in. It didn't take too long... less than ten minutes, probably. My cousin came over yesterday and tried it on, and it looked a little big on her... cause she's young still. So my aunt asked me to make her a necklace for her birthday in September, using a smaller shell. Which I'm more than happy to do!

And now for the crocheting attempt...





Don't mind me in the pics, I'm not even dressed yet!

Yeah, so... my attempt to crochet was not a very good one. It's a lot thinner at the top than it is at the bottom.... hmm. My sister said I would suck at first, but she's really good at crocheting now... so maybe there's hope for me yet?
