The Cheese Thief's Whereabouts

Dear Readers (the few that I probably have left),

I know its been a while, a very long while - about nine months.  I've been busy, busy making something that took all the energy out of me.  Crafting something that made me so sick at times, but in the end it was all worth it.  For those of you who are wondering what I "crafted" the image below is a hint.

Here is my new baby girl Alexis.

I hope readers understand why I've been away for so long. Pregnancy was hard on my body and I simply didn't have the energy to blog.  But I'm going to start up blogging again.  I can't wait to share with you some of the tutorials I've been working on.

Below is a simple tutorial for how to take a friendship bracelet and make a friendship ring.

Start with weaving yarn into the desired design as you would when making a friendship bracelet to the length slightly longer than the circumference of your finger.  Here I used a friendship bracelet that I already had.  Cut the woven piece to the exact circumference of your finger at both ends to produce straight edges

Hand sew two ends together to form a circle.  You could also put some fabric glue for a more secure hold.

And here you have your finished ring.

Enjoy.
