“Beautiful” Bracelet

04/19/2012

Yes, I do make a lot of bracelets.  I just love them.  Part of it is that when you wear a bracelet, you can see it, even on yourself.  Not so much so with earrings or necklaces, and I'm sorry, but one ring is all I need. ;)So I am sorry if you're tired of seeing bracelets, but I'm not tired of them ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
