Fixing Broken Earrings

I love winter semester because as classes get harder, the weather gets better! It feels good to go outside without a coat on again. It's also crazy that thirty five degrees feels warm enough to not wear a coat.

After a long night on campus with my husband in his 'chemical engineers are so cool that they need codes on the doors of their study labs', we began to walk home. I felt something fall down the front of my coat and before I knew it, my earring was lying broken on the sidewalk! Is it bad to wear one earring like a pirate? When your earring is dangly and flowery, then probably. My poor earrings sat for weeks before I decided to do something about it. 

1. Take it apart

2. Glue it together

3. Braid some embroidery floss

4. Paint it

5. Glue some floss on back

6. Wrap floss around and glue end on back

7. Put it back together

On different note; I am currently listening to ingrid michaelson's new album and loving it. It was an early valentines gift! My roommate and I saw her on tour last year and ... she was amazing. Her new album is making me so happy right now.
