What goes into handmade...
I was finishing up some earrings this morning and thought to myself "geez, if people really understood everything that goes on behind the scenes..."

So I gathered all my tools and took a photo of them. I forgot a few, but this

is what it takes to make these.

I won't go into all the steps (details on my blog), but I amazed myself when I gathered all the "stuff" I use to make some cute and seemingly simple earrings!

For me, a project mostly takes yarn and time only.

Needles, scissors, sometimes your loom thingee. It's surprising when you break it down what's really involved.

And thanks! I made some last year and thought I'd shared them, but I guess not. I gave a bunch away as gifts, sold a bunch. Needed to make a bunch for this year. I don't usually do "production" but I don't mind doing these, they are kind of fun.
