A little upset

December 14, 2025 7:18am CST
My mother came by today to pick up something. She seen all of my beads and jewelry making supplies and mentioned she wanted a pink pearl bracelet one day and that she'd pay me for it. Well I found a beautiful gold chariot holding a diamond in a heart charm. Then I gathered up some different gold beads and pink pearls. I wanted to make it now, so I could give it to her for Christmas. I wasn't planning on charging my Mother for it. Well, I got the beads all strung on some wire (the nylon string was too thick to fit in the holes and I added a lobster clasp on one end and tried my best to secure it. Then, I tried to put a circular piece on the other end to connect the lobster clasp to and finish the bracelet. I tried to secure the circular piece but I just couldn't get it and the entire thing just fell apart all over the floor. I am pretty upset. I think I need to try some thicker memory wire and maybe some elastic string. Now, I've probably lost half of the beads I was using. I don't know if I can replicate it again.

It is difficult not to be hard on yourself, especially when you put such thought into your work. But, it will take time, and you will eventually get the hang of it. I know you will.
