Getting into the holiday feeling, with earrings

We are expecting some rain for Thanksgiving.

Here is the view from my work this evening.



I didn't do anything exciting this week.

For me, that usually means going somewhere new, and taking pictures about it.




My mood is slightly better than last week.

I guess it helps to get angry sometimes, because it motivates me to change the things that aren't working.

Also, I can look forward to several days off this week.





Going through my camera roll, I found that my week was not completely boring.




I made some bead earrings to wear to the office Thanksgiving luncheon.


I didn't know what I was going to make at first.

First I made a chain of beads, but I wasn't satisfied with where it was going.

I put together some different beads in a more festive color.

I saw that they looked nice in a star shaped pattern.

I thought about how I could make them hold their shape.




I came up with a round hoop of wire.

It ended up looking like a wagon wheel!

It took many hours, mostly because the beads were tiny.

When I tried to run the wire through them, half of them didn't have a big enough hole.

But the result was pretty cool!
