It's called:
Of course, the girl had tutorials out the yin yang. Easy to follow tutorials for novices such as myself. Not only were her tutorials bangin' she was also highly relate-able, funny and honest. I liked her instantly. I wrote an exultant blog about her, running the risk of sounding like a weird fan girl. The icing on the cake was when she commented on my blog. No big blogger has ever done that! Never.
That being said, not only did her tutorials inspire me, she herself inspired me by commenting. It flipped a switch in me and made me think that maybe I could expand my blog a bit; grow it and share with others. Since then, that's what I've done. I'm really proud of the little blog and realize I still have a lot more to learn.
I've been working through some of LMM's tutorials; want to see what I've done so far? Sure you do!
You know how some crafts you need to do more than once to get just right? Well, that's how this one went. It started off well enough:
Craft fail.
I tried it again, this time with different lace and the correct sizing. I also gently folded down the top of the lace as it circled around to add some definition. Then I added a few extra pearls to accent it. Perfect.
What? You want to make this lovely necklace too? Click here for the tutorial.
I got to thinking though. I couldn't keep this lovely necklace for myself; I wanted to share it with you; the people who read my words and respond to my weird little peccadilloes. I want to say thank you; I'm over 100 followers and 100 followers on Twitter; that's a big deal! So, I'm giving this necklace away to one lucky reader. My intent is to tie together my newfound love of crafting to my inspiration; and then to share it with you guys.Here's how you can win it:

I've never been a crafty person because I just am plain bad at them; however, I adore the utensil picture you created. I might have to try a later version for my dining room!
