Home Alone

With this watch, I tried to tie in the dot-theme throughout it. I love the polka dots in black and white! I added a touch of silver to make it match the watch face better. This is a simple brown watch band that I decided to make. I wear brown a ton, and noticed that people like brown because it is a neutral color and goes with a lot of different outfits.
This watch I made specifically for Ted's boss. She loves orange, and chunky jewelry. I made her a white one for her birthday, and she loved it. So, this is a watch with her favorite colors. Hope she likes this one as much as the first one I made for her.
Here is a green one that I put together. I love the heart, and tried to tie in the heart theme throughout the watch.
Here is a lime green watch face that I struggled with. I have had it since I first started making watches, and have never been able to put anything together that fit it. Since I only had two lime-green beads, I accented with silver and clear beads, and included some of the most expensive beads I have to dress it up.

After being in Idaho for the last 3 weeks and constantly moving around (driving tractors, trucks, moving pipe, riding horses, visiting family and friends, etc) it is different spending a day at home without anyone to keep me company. Ted left early this morning to go to seminary, then had a training, and is now at work. So, I have been kicking it by myself since 5:00 am. It feels strange, but I am getting a lot of things done. Here are some pictures of watches that I decided to make today. Making watches is a creative outlet for me. I love it!
