Turquoise Necklace

The other day my precious kitty Sheila decided to chow down on the leather cord of one of my turquoise necklace. I was infuriated! It is one of my favorite to wear, however while lying in bed the other night I got inspired all of a sudden. I suddenly thought of the necklace I had in need of a cord, and the tiniest bit of Noro yarn leftover from making these socks. It seems strange that they went together so perfectly in color...

It was easy to do, and finished in one night. I strung on some black beads, and added a vintage button for the clasp. It is love!

I'm actually very glad that Sheila destroyed it now. I love it so much better than before.

Life is funny like that, isn't it?

Just a short post for today.

Love this quote so much and the greenness of my flickr favorites for the week. :)

Spent a good part of the day babysitting, and then went to the bookstore with my family whilst it rained the day away....

Just a little reminder of sorts so that you can remember to enter the giveaway!! Today is the last day!!

Also the badge for my swap was mysteriously not working, but should be fixed now, so if you want to get the new html it should all be in working order. Thanks!

Also, this song Tightrope by Janelle Monae really makes me want to dance! Not sure what this Indepence Day Weekend holds in store for me. What about you?

Hope your Thursday was terrific!

XOXO, Callie
