After looking at some overpriced jewelry, I decided that I would make good on my plans of making my own.  So off to Hobby Lobby we went.<\/p>\n<p>After picking up $30 in jewelry making stuff (just miscellaneous odds and ends because I already had some pliers at home, which I use to work with my Art by Amy pieces), I was ready for my first try.  My first project was a pair of earrings for me.  Those worked out really easily because it was mainly just affixing the glass pendant to fish hook earring wire via jump ring.  Quick and easy.  I would have taken a picture, my camera phone kept taking it blurry so I just gave up.  I think I will wear it today to show Jan.<\/p>\n<p>My second project this morning was Jan&#8217;s glass heart necklace (shown above).  This posed more of a challenge because I had to hide the ends of the leather cord.  Although, it was still pretty simple to do as jewelry projects go.  I&#8217;m giving the necklace to her at brunch today.  I hope she likes it.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I think I&#8217;m going to hit Wal-Mart on the way home for some charms and beading stuff.  I&#8217;m so excited.  I can&#8217;t wait to make some  more stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan and I hung out at the mall yesterday after I dropped Brian off at the airport.
