60 Bracelets finished, packaged and ready for August!! :)

Well, I made it!! I got all 60 bracelets finished before the end of July(which I was hoping to achieve!!! I did say that I might make 70 and I know now that I could have done that, but I was told 60 was more than enough so I finished them and they are ready to go in August.

And right now I am working on edging 2 shirts for my mother-in-law for Christmas and a set of 4 motifs for photo coasters also for her. :)

Update on bracelets

Just thought I ought to let you know how many I have gotten done so far. I have 16 done so far.

Thankfully I do the bracelets in the color order you see here(top to bottom) so that way I am not getting tired of one color over and over. And the pattern is easy enough that I haven't had to over-think and can just keep going. I have gotten frustrated several times when I shredded the thread while making a join and had to cut the shredded thread off and cover more ends, but it hasn't been horrible. :) Have an awesome day today!!! :)

More green burn gel and tatting to show!! :)

Well, I have more green burn gel on, but this time it's on sunburn. We went to an amusement park for only 3 hours and I got good and burned. And later we went fishing, but I actually put on my sunblock to try and avoid making the burn worse!!! So here are my arms. My face got it too, but the picture was too scary to show with the green gel. I looked like something out of a horror movie so I decided my arms would do. :D

I don't know if you remember back when I worked a women's ministry weekend and made 70 double hearts on paper clips-link here:

Well, I am to work another one and this time I am making bracelets(hopefully enough for everyone). I am making single rainbow colors and adding a rainbow cross charm to each.

I wanted something simple so I decided to just do rings and chains. The pattern is just 5p5p5p5 for the Rings, and 10ds for the chains-except at the ends and the chains are 8ds. I have these 6 done and I know it takes about 2 hours to make each one.

And I already have someone else who asked for one with a butterfly, so I will have to work on that when possible.

Today I am busy stitching the butterfly edging on the skirt(skort) for my granddaughter since I actually finished it this weekend too. :)

Have an awesome day everyone!!!
