So, 8 months ago I took my first jewelry making class and LOVED it. So I thought, why don't I make each of my 6 bridesmaids necklaces and earrings for the wedding? They are wearing black dresses, and are carrying red roses, so I figured red jewelry would be nice. AND I figured, 'Hey, I have 8 months, NO PROBLEM! I'll get it done WAY ahead of time.'
So fast forward 7 1/2 months when I'm only halfway done with them. My friends (not the bridesmaids) knew that I was undertaking this and it was a running joke about whether I was going to finish.
BUT I DID! At 3 pm yesterday they were finished and my hands were killing me. Lesson learned- have fewer bridesmaids next time.
But, I must admit that I love doing it. Just 6 of any one piece is a lot.
So, only because I'm so happy that I FINISHED, I wanted to share my project.

Thanks everybody! They look better on a person, but I couldn't get the camera to do them justice. They sparkle a little!
With all of my extra beads, if anyone needs red beaded things, let me know!
