of plans and sewing

hello dear readers! i trust you had a great weekend and Monday.  my weekend didn't go quite as i had planned...too much homework for my taste and i felt a wee bit under the weather. therefore i didn't get as much sewing done as i would've liked but i did complete one of my planned projects!

a while back i spied a necklace at anthropologie that i wanted to try and recreate. so while i love anthro just like the next girl, i love it even better when i can get a similar look for a whole lot less! i used the yoyo tutorial found here and had a blast making this necklace.
