Hi all, I know it's been a very very long time since I've logged on. I had so many comments and a lot of love waiting for me when I logged on today. It really makes me so happy to see that my work is liked, and inspires new artists. (: Here are just a few of the new things that have happened to me! 1. Graduated, BFA Graphic Design :D 2. Moved in with boyfriend/love of my life (who is new to you guys because that's how long it's been LOL), Geoff! 3. Started selling my jewelry at a local spa my friend owns -- my first official "in person" shop!! (check her out, www.facebook.com/BasicHumanKneads) 4. Built my website, www.armoredkoi.com (: A

I mean I run, work out, and do Bikram yoga (and that's like being in a sweat lodge for 90 minutes). So it's understandable. Still sucks though. The nice thing is though, the super huge ATi cuff I have :thumb200798915: just needs to be scrubbed with a brush & dish soap to get the dirt off and it looks good as new,

So it's been forever since I've been on here. Work and school, etc. I have the two jobs and good news, I have a third lined up so I can leave Target & start making more money (and stop having to wake up at 3 am). So yay! I'll be bartending & serving at World of Beer. Should be awesome! So here are some photos of the maille dice bag in progress: https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/150906_592760842331_1548923013_n.jpg Yes, I used J 12:2. Yes, I hate my life. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/427592_592761036941_1545661021_n.jpg Soooo the friend whom I'm making this for is my boyfriend now. :blush: His name is Todd. It's
