More Christmas Gift Making.
Nov. 25th, 2007 05:24 pmMy sister is one of the hardest people to buy and make things for because of her specific style.
Well, after making a huge list online of items I thought she'd like and asking her to pick, she replied with even more stuff and etc... I ended up not even using anything on the list.
Walking through Target yesterday, I saw a necklace that absolutely caught my eye as my sister's style. Then, almost all the way across the rack, I found a bracelet that would go with it.
Knowing my sister, she HAS to have matching necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings. She's very well put together, to say the very least... so after I blew my budget (it's small this year) on the two items, I got myself home and crafted her a ring and earrings to match it all.
Sorry ahead of time for the not great photos. My camera is in the shop.

earrings
made, amusingly enough, with beads from a necklace of her own that broke last Christmas.
