Mardi Gras&nbsp;Beads&nbsp;from the Dollar Store. I think there are about 12-15 beads on this particular necklace, however use more or less depending on your taste. They come in packs of 8 necklaces. Make sure they are the silver/gold color - the colored ones don't work as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2. Spray paint - I used turquoise, but any color you want will do! Coral would be fun...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">3. String/fishing line whatever you have around.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">4. Ribbon</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">5. Hot glue gun/glue</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">6. Clasp &amp; jump ring - any craft store should have both. A jump ring is essentially a round ring. Get an extra large clasp and the biggest jump rings you can find - so much easier to work with.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">&nbsp;First, spray paint the beads. The beads I used only had one coat, because I liked the gold/silver accents.&nbsp;Second, once they have&nbsp;dried&nbsp;take the beads and break them at their seam - it should be two beads stuck together (no string between),&nbsp;noticeable&nbsp;once you start looking for them.&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I then measured the length I wanted the necklace to be. Bundle &amp; tie one end of the beads, and then tie the other end at your desired length&nbsp;before you trim off the excess beads, trust me on this one. Next, I took some hot glue and wrapped fabric around the ends so they would be soft against the neck. This is the 'hard part'. Take another piece of ribbon, glue one side down vertically to the ribbon you just secured, slide a jump ring onto the ribbon, and glue the other end down on the opposite side of your ribbon cap.

It must be turning to fall because my yearly hunt for the perfect boot has begun once again. Anyway, for me - these boots would be a huge splurge.

They really are. A great way to class up any nice pants and top outfit. And as the description says, they are "timeless."

And the problem is that #3 is often in conflict with #1 (I find some timeless things just never go on sale). Is it possible, however, to see if these boots do?</span></div><div class="p2" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Clearly this is what I'd rather be thinking about then what I am currently working on : )"</span></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I love her so much - smart, talented and one of the best friends one could ask for.

My client wanted me to scope out if it was possible to get from her potential piece of property to the Snake River. So, on Saturday I asked my dad to come along to help me navigate the mile or so my map said it would take to accomplish this task. About 10 minutes into our quest we realized we didn't have bear spray - so lots of singing, whistling and shouting insued so we wouldn't become meal #1 for the bears. After crossing a creek, jumping numerous ditches and wandering a bit, we made it to the river - woo hoo! Best of all neither of us fell and went for a swim in the major creek crossing, which would have been the temperature of, well melted mountain snow, brr. Great adventure with my dad (who impressed me with his creek navigation techniques), and success that I get to share with my client - double whammy.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Let me preface this story with a quick cow knowledge that was taught to me. When a mama cow dies, much to my horror, the other mama cows do not take care of that little calf - he or she is left to fend for themselves - usually resulting in their death.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">So, a cow had passed away in the middle of calving season and Chase (as he has done in the past - see </span><a href="http://padgetthoke.blogspot.com/2009/07/4th-photos.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>this post</b></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">) bottle feeds the calf three times a day, everyday. I wanted to meet this little calf so off we went. It was rainy and cold &amp; seeing all the other happy calfs cuddled up close to their mamas and this one all by itself, cold, dirty and wet made me tear right up. After feeding the little one we started to drive off and he ran after us... &nbsp;ugh, gut wrenching.

My chandelier ended up having a bit more draping&nbsp;</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">happening, which I like &amp; I wanted it to be bright blue/turquoise. I made some alterations to her great <a href="http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2010/05/make-a-beaded-chandelier/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>instructions</b></span></a>, and am very pleased with how this turned out! I will say that it took me much longer than I anticipated, and if I were to commit a crime, I would absolutely get away with it as the hot glue gun stole my finger prints and left blisters in their place... yoouch!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I think the grand total for this project was about $25.00. All the supplies were easy to come by and the only thing you need really is patience.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4doy1pwaMr0/TcgzNZnb_oI/AAAAAAAALak/AOQpQZmQZmk/s1600/IMG_0132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4doy1pwaMr0/TcgzNZnb_oI/AAAAAAAALak/AOQpQZmQZmk/s640/IMG_0132.JPG" width="640" /></span></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4lsUn_xvms/TcgyyTvhKoI/AAAAAAAALag/pL5Y9jgRVR4/s1600/IMG_0131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4lsUn_xvms/TcgyyTvhKoI/AAAAAAAALag/pL5Y9jgRVR4/s640/IMG_0131.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I bought the beads at the dollar store, the hanging planter form and paint from the hardware store, and I already had the glue gun.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hskaSludLlI/Tcgydoy5I_I/AAAAAAAALac/MLWAWVRyGqA/s1600/IMG_0130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hskaSludLlI/Tcgydoy5I_I/AAAAAAAALac/MLWAWVRyGqA/s640/IMG_0130.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The beads came in a bundle of 8 for $1.00 in gold and silver, so I bought 10 packs my first run and had to go back and buy 5 more packs to finish it off. I also had to buy an additional spray paint for the second batch of necklaces and for a final once over once the chandelier was finished.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">So first you need to paint the beads, both sides as well as possible. Depending on the color of beads and the color that you would like them to be it might take one or two more coats of paint to get them the color you want. The silver beads took the color way better than the gold, but in the end I sort of like how the gold shows through a bit, or maybe that is just laziness speaking, I don't know!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rW0WKE9oyvU/Tcgz7B-0KcI/AAAAAAAALas/Z3goAzLFeKs/s1600/IMG_0134.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rW0WKE9oyvU/Tcgz7B-0KcI/AAAAAAAALas/Z3goAzLFeKs/s640/IMG_0134.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">I turned a sturdy lamp horizontal and layed it across two of my chairs to hang the planter up so I could comfortable sit and work.&nbsp;Once everything was painted (including the planter hanger) I tried one method and then ended up switching to a different method.&nbsp;</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">You will want to break the necklaces apart at the seam, it's where two of the beads are 'fused' together &amp; very easy to break apart. Also, I took the three chains that hold the planter basket and gathered them at the base so that when the beads were draped the chain wouldn't be as visible. Do this first though, as it makes the length shorter and you would lose your draping if you did this after you finish.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The first method I went with was to hot glue all the necklaces to the rim of the planter. I went back after I was half way done and gathered the beads and began gluing them to the bottom. Well, I didn't like how that was going so I switched tactics... I began bundling the strands with fishing wire (about 4 or 5) and attached those to the bottom of the basket, then glued them to the middle and finally bundled the top (same 4 or 5 strands) with fishing wire and attached to the top hook... I think the second process ended up being easier. (below was the first process half way)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TEZOFyG9vWY/Tcg0qCgtR0I/AAAAAAAALa0/fzGj8Vb5lzA/s1600/IMG_0136.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TEZOFyG9vWY/Tcg0qCgtR0I/AAAAAAAALa0/fzGj8Vb5lzA/s640/IMG_0136.JPG" width="480" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">After numerous breaks I finally finished it.
