Since my future parents-in-law invited us on their beach vacation, I thought it would be appropriate to give them a little token of our appreciation. And by our, I totally mean mine. It was my idea, my effort, my creation. But, they are his parents & we are getting hitched, so I suppose I need to practice the whole "what's yours is mine & what's mine is yours" thing. So, anyways... Plan A was a pair of earrings for my future mother-in-law. But the way they were looking in my head, they would only be suited for a little girl who's super excited about her first pair of dangling earrings. Thus, Plan B was formed: ocean colored beads with sea shells straight from the sea shore.

A couple weeks ago, I made my first tshirt scarf. I sliced up a blue A&F shirt, sewed up the long strips, hand sewed & beaded an amaaazing pink flower, & voila - not too shabby for my first try, eh?

Sorry, dudes, but this piece is taken. My sister claimed it. Just like she's claimed a few pairs of earrings. She also requested a mini scarf for my niece. So, I used all of the same fabrics so their scarves would match. But I put hearts on the mini scarf so they won't be twinsies.

Today was my first attempt at photo editing since using a gigantasaur old Apple ii beast way back in the day to transform a pixely picture of a bus into a pixely picture of a couch. It's really not my bag of snakes, so I'll stick to cropping & making Picnik do all the work for me. How do photographers do it? I quickly realized that if I had to Photoshop pictures for a living, I'd probably go through copious amounts of cheap wine. Or find a new job. But the wine is enticing.
