What was I thinking?
First of all, I could hardly see the tiny beads and jump rings, even with my glasses. Plus I had a bunch of other stuff to do, like serve lunch and make sure all the other crafts were proceeding smoothly and teach my short story writing class. So, I missed most of the instructions. By the time I sat down to really work on the bracelet, I was exhausted. It hurt my eyes. I could not figure out what I was supposed to do. My friend and visiting teaching companion showed me how it was supposed to go, but I was too tired at that point to even try. I took it all home with me, figuring I would never in a million years finish that bracelet.
Then I woke up this morning and decided that, by golly, I can do hard things! I would not let that bracelet get the best of me! After the temple dedication (which was amazing), I got to work!
I recruited Darth Tater to help me.
Xander took some pictures of me hard at work.
It took hours, but here is the finished product!
And me wearing it!
Take that chain maille bracelet! And as a bonus, if anyone tries to stab me in the wrist or cut off my hand or something, I'm totally protected. Believe me, I won't be making a whole suit of chain mail armor anytime soon!
P.S. Apparently, I linked Ryan's mission call video wrong, so know it just shows whatever video Tracy last posted, which is kind of funny.

Good for you for finishing! I'm pretty sure this will be my only attempt at jewelry.
