Necklaces

From a very early age my mom realized that I have a very high sensitivity to metal (mostly the cheap kind). When I was a baby I would get red circles on my stomach from the snaps on my jammies. Since then I have had to be very careful of what I wear, because too much metal contact and I get red rashes wherever the metal rested for too long. Most of my friends are aware of this and because of it I am a bit harder to shop for. Cute necklaces, bracelets and earings just don't work for me. One of my dear friends Megan (commonly known to us as Red) is very talented at making jewelry. Two summers ago Megan made me a beautiful necklace that I can actually wear, and have been wearing ever since. It is a beautiful stone necklace on string. I wear it with everything (sadly even if the colors don't match all that well).

The one Megan made for me is on top, the other two are the ones I made.

Today while I was out with my mom and grandma we stopped into Jo-Ann Fabrics. I was looking for string to make another necklace similar to the one Megan made me. While looking I found these beautiful glass beads, flat with an off center hole, perfect for hanging for a necklace. I picked out two that I thought would go well with my "teacher clothes". Grandma bought them for me, she is so sweet, and left the string (which I didn't find) for me to pick up. At home I found some string that I think works well, and made some necklaces (again while working on dinner). I think they are beautiful and I hope they work for my outfits!
