so last nite i went to a jewelry party one of my neighbors was having. i've been in the neighborhood two years now and barely know anyone on the street. i figured this was an opportunity to meet some folks.
so i go over there and there's lots of stuff. some really cool stuff, some really nice stuff, and some really expensive stuff! good god, man! they wanted $80 for a necklace made with the same stuff i have at home. i thumbed through the catalog and noticed that i could actually make half the stuff in there. i just have a really hard time paying that much money for something i know i could do myself. i've got the tools, i've got the knowledge... hell yeah, i can do it!
one lady, that i knew already, picked up a bracelet she wanted but it was a "set". a set of something like eight bracelets that were really all just on a stretch band. who needs eight frikkin bands on their wrist? apparently, not her. she said that was too much and would only wear three at a time, at the most. plus, it was $38 for the "set". i saw her disappointment and told her, "i could totally make that for you". though i don't have the exact same stones, i have some in the same color and silver beads to lace thru, just like it. she'll have her bracelet and everyone will be happier for it. =)
