in bLOOM

My mom bought me a rainbow loom set.

With it, she got me four packs of rubber bands.  I have the camouflage, skin, opaque blue aside from the rainbow mix that came with the loom.

Seeing my niece hooked and finding out from my sister of my interest, my mom decided she was getting me the kit.  She even hand carried my toy to me :)

I love it!!!

'flower power'

It was really the 'dragon scale' that I wanted to make, hence it was the first bracelet that I made.  I gave it to my niece :)

My next bracelet was the hexafish, that is the blurred bracelet above, left.  It took forever to do, really.  But I love the simplicity of it.  I used a mix of the skin pack and the beige from the camouflage pack.  That bracelet is mine.

Meanwhile, the bracelet with the bright pink flower had found refuge around my good friend's wrist.  

'citrus'

I saw the citrus style bracelet on Friday and made a few.  I love how it looks like a sand dollar.  The puffy effect also makes me want to make A LOT and pile it on.  It's a shame these two don't go well together. If only I had all the shades of nude....  

I had also made other bracelets like starburst/rose garden and a few charms, strawberries, letter A, anchor.  

The intention is to practice so I can make a simple bracelet with loads of charms.  I am wanting to get more rubber bands, in the colours that match my clothes more.  Then, the ultimate bracelet will be made.

brace(let) yourself

Today, I thought I'd wear a couple of bracelets.  I really haven't worn any for a while.

By lunch time, I had regretted doing so as the charm attached to one kept getting in the way.

Luckily, I was not chairing any meeting today.  In fact, it was a blessing that all my meetings were conference calls.  It would have been horribly annoying.

I decided to suck it--meaning, endure the pain.  For some reason, I am not very comfortable taking accessories off, setting them aside and putting them back on after a task.

Like rings.  I wash my hand wearing them.  On days that I do, wear a ring or rings.

My watch.  My watch especially.  It remains around my wrist.  All day.  

So it was settled.  

Bracelets were staying.

As I adjusted the troublesome charm, I realised that both bracelets I had on were gifts.  And from the same person too.

The same person who spammed today.

And by spam, I don't mean someone sending an email that I don't care to read.  Instead, someone framed by some malicious email application to make it appear that I was actually receiving a legitimate email from a person known to me.

Maybe I should send my regards.
