Bling bling...Who's there?

I never really wore pink and purple growing up. Or maybe I did, but I cannot remember being a particularly pink-type-kind-of-girl. Now, grown-up and mother of two lovely, but very blokey boys, my need for pink and purple has sent most of my wardrobe into lilac overdrive. As I found myself with a surprising lack of matching jewellery and with a creative curiosity about the popular trend to make your own, well, you can guess the rest. It was a lot more fiddly than I had expected, and as my creative patience does not match up to its curious counterpart, I do confess to a hint of frustration being baked into this basic bling bling.

Perhaps I could grow fond of the fiddling, or perhaps I shall just resolve to stay in my purple phase with accomplished neck decoration until the fiddled frustration has fallen into oblivion and I am ready to throw myself into my next home-fiddled beaded bling-type-thing...
