procrastination.

i should be studying for my grade determining chemistry exam next week.  but instead...

when i was talking to amanda this morning about how much we both want to be crafty and make our own clothes, home decor... etc.  i decided to make some ear rings that i saw on a random blog.

here was my inspiration:

these are from nordstrom:

and anthropologie has like a million pairs that i want, but here is my current favorite:

aren't they beautiful??

so i went to the craft store and bought the earing (the back and the pin/tac type piece that goes in your ear), a hot glue gun, and buttons!!

pretty...

miss annie oakley right here.

the most similar button that i could find like the cute ones from nordstrom- no diamonds of course. 

and the final product....

ta da!

my first craft, all by myself :)  hey, beauty is within the eye of the beholder...  i like them.

i miss ohio already. come see the dawsons!  off to being productive now... hopefully.
