Hey guys !!

this is the first of my weekly writing posts :3

this one is gonna be the sloppiest probably out of all of them cuz i procrastinated this and yeah :/ but here i am writing it now :D <33

SO- i had a couple “best moment of the week”

here they are:

1. getting into “the lost tapes” (a minecraft horror series that was made by karl jacobs)

2. when i had a sleepover w/ one of my best friends- @pearldiverrrrr and we watched the sunrise outside on their driveway

3. when my brand new huge bead kit (for bracelets) arrived :0

4. (this one will be going a bit more into detail but) i was out on my porch i think two days ago? and i had the same song on repeat: “over my head” by james marriott and i was on my porch swing for like 5 hours listening to it on repeat taking in the landscape around me. it was sunny at first then started to lightly rain as it got cloudier, i still love that song sm and that moment was so peaceful. (it’s kinda funny cuz the song didn’t fit the landscape but the vibe of it somewhat fit the emotion i was feeling or sparked the emotion i was feeling)

5. WHEN I FOUND OUT I GOT TICKETS TO A JAMES MARRIOTT CONCERT IN TWO MONTHS BABY <33

thanks guys- sorry this is so unorganized !!

love yall sm *mwah* 💋

Pet Paradise Bead Kit - Chemist Warehouse, $6.50 AUD.

No online listing is available.

This is currently on half-price sale; the full price is $12.99 AUD. If you’re after a kit to get you started on making animal-themed bead fidgets, I think this is a pretty decent way to begin--with one big proviso.

If you buy this, don’t throw out the box. Or do what I did, which was to cut off the front panel (easier to store) and then recycle the rest. Don’t throw out the box, because if you do, you won’t be able to make the animal fidgets.

Despite the back of the box saying “easy to follow instructions”, the instruction sheet only tells you how to thread a single row of beads. If you’ve made any of these before, it’s not so difficult to look at the images on the box and copy them, but if you haven’t, you’d be lost. If you do what I tend to do and open the kit, recycle the box and then go to make the bead fidgets some time later, you’d be beyond lost with no image references. The instructions aren’t easy to follow and there are no real, specific instructions for copying the animals on the front, rendering them useless.

I’ve previously posted tutorials for the beaded gecko and the beaded ladybird. There are also more tutorials on this reblogged post, which have options for butterflies. I would make these first, using those tutorials, just to get the feel of how to thread the beads together. Only then would I copy the other animals from the front of the box.

I have to say that I do like that the kit comes with a storage box. Everything fits within it and it makes it easy to store the beads. It also comes with a good array of colours, and the metallic beads are gorgeous. For the sale price, it isn’t a bad way to start, since you get everything you need but scissors and instructions.

I plan on making the animals in this kit, so I can later discuss things like if they provided the right amount of beads and how easy the animals are to make from copying the box image.

I do like this kit, but I was expecting to get clear instructions on how to make the different animals--it’s most of the reason I bought it, as I have plenty of beads already. If you have no beading experience, it is still a good way to get started, but the lack of instructions provided is absurd.

[image description: two photos of a DIY beaded animal keychain kit. First photo shows a white, square cardboard box labelled “create your own pet paradise” in red type with smaller text including “makes 10 bead pets”, “bonus storage box” and “create cool keychains”. The front of the box shows images of ten different bead keychains: butterfly, rabbit, penguin, a second butterfly or moth, gecko/lizard, dog, ladybird, frog, spider and cat. Second photo shows a small five-space aqua storage case. A large section is filled with black beads and white and black rattail cord; three smaller sections are filled with red, blue, pink, orange, yellow, green, white, tan and brown beads; a fourth smaller section is filled with metallic beads, split rings and lanyard clasps. First photo takes place in a blue and white night sky background; second takes place on a red watermelon slice pillow.]

Mystic Turquoise Necklace from Annie's Simply Beads Kit-of-the-Month Club A former co-worker was cleaning up when she rediscovered four kits she received in the mail and sent several kits home with my mother for me to do. I find doing pre made kits fun sometimes, to give my mind a break from coming up with designs from scratch. Plus, I get the added benefit of leftover beads, materials and references for future projects. I will be bringing this one with me on Sunday to sell, more because I won’t really ever wear it. I don’t seek to make money off these kits, and wont be getting them often anyway. I will only be selling the pieces I do make from these kits due to either inability to wear them or no interest in keeping them for wear. Also, this necklace is heavier than I expected, so I only made the necklace and not the earrings and bracelet. I don't want my customers tearing their ears (it happened to me many years ago). This was made with beading wire, crimp tubes, 13mm and 19mm flat turquoise round beads, 4mm round turquoise beads, a 35 x 25mm turquoise oval bead, 13 x 10mm silver nuggets, 4mm flat silver round beads, split rings, and a 25mm round carabiner
