Weekend DIY

I spent a fair amount of time trying to clean out my room this weekend, but when I wasn't sorting I spent a lot of time watching Crossing Jordan on Netflix (I love me a crime procedural). Of course as a person in 2012, I can't just sit and watch, I have to be doing something else. So, upon finding some chain that I had squirreled away - just like everything else in this room, I swear I save everything - plus some embroidery floss and some brightly colored yarn, I decided to do a little DIY. I've loved the mixed media chain and embroidery floss hybrid friendship bracelets since last spring when I saw them in the June issue of SELF. So I found a diy tutorial on Honestly...WTF, changed it up a little based on my own needs (smaller chain, safety pins for clasps) and got to weaving. I ended up with a bracelet and a necklace that I'm excited about (and I love that if I get tired of them I can switch the thread up).
