Let the Hammer Fall
So it looks like tonight Villain Extraordinaire will be partaking of the subtle flavors of that fine musical genre known as Heavy Metal. That's right folks, tonight is the Hammerfall concert and J has almost convinced me that I, too, need to go. The fact that they wear chainmail on stage should say something. Not sure exactly what, but something profound indeed.
Lately, I have been making button hairpins. This is mostly because I couldn't think of any other relatively flat thing to glue to bobby pins. They have come out rather well, though my hair is too fine/thin to hold them well. Below is pictured my green button with the peridot necklace I put together.
I bought some seed beads at The Bead Monkey in order to make a li'l bracelet. I like the outcome, but I think that I like the beads the best in their little tube. So tiny. So pretty. Also, I have about a million of them left. What do to, what to do?
I started a new OSW using my Knitpicks alpaca silk yarn. Mmmmmm. So soft and luscious! I also dyed some of their fingering weight yarn for an Orangina using Orange and Tropical Punch Kool-aid. Came out pretty awsome. I was impressed by the saturation. But, I guess since I used a considerable amount more than the standard, that is to be expected.
Ah, well. Nerds have arrived, time to depart.

You have beautiful eyes.
Too bad about the concert, though we had fun anyway.

Hi Villain and J.
Looks like you are keeping yourselves from being bored. You two should come over here and sell those bracelets and necklaces. Set up a little booth by the Kenting Beach, you can probably make a fortune.
I finally got my first break from that stupid bootcamp, a.k.a stupid boy scout/army hell hole.
Hope you guys are having fun there, I miss you all! Say hi to Beth for me, and take care of Taryn as well:)
I will see you all soon (maybe by next Christmas.....maybe),and come visit me if you win the power ball, k?
take care...
i will be at the bootcamp again at 17:50 tomorrow, wont be able to get out until sept 8th....

I am loving the button hair pin. Do give instructions or sell them; the one pictured is great!
Happy to see your blog. Was visiting Danielle's tonight and saw the link to yours...

i have been considering selling them for a couple bucks on my Etsy site. perhaps i will get some in there soon. so far, they've all been singles. do you think pairs would be better?
