Vancouver anyone?

2011-05-03T21:29:00.000-05:00

New contest: ends the night of the Stanley cup! Whoever can guess my favorite Vancouver Canucks player is will win a basic name bracelet (your choice of two colors and your name or nickname on it!). Now you may be saying, "But oh! Laryn! Thats impossible! There are so many people to guess from!" Well, so you won't be too clueless on this, I'm giving you three hints!
1. He is from Moers, Germany
2. He is a defenceman
3. He used to play for the San Jose Sharks

So, guess away for your highly likely chance of winning a free bracelet with your name on it! :D And don't forget to watch so hockey, too ;)

Vancouver Canucks

2011-04-30T19:25:00.000-05:00

The Stanley Cup Finals are going on right now, and so, in honor of my favorite team, the Vancouver Canucks, I am making a bracelet (and hoping they don't lose pre-maturely!).

It isn't completed yet, of course, but its coming along well. Now, you may be wondering, "What in the world is a 'canuck'?" Well. A "canuck" is a slang word for a Canadian. I bet you just learned something :D

Getting Back into the Swing of Things

2011-02-27T09:07:00.000-06:00

Hey everyone- I've been so out of it lately! I don't think I've made a bracelet in about 2 months! Okay so like one with my friend Kaylie, but thats it in TWO MONTHS. :O *gasp* I know, anyways- I'm spending part of today sleeping because I'm not feeling all too well, and the other part getting caught up on stuff; getting some new patterns for y'all to see, finding some new techniques, etc., etc.! Well, enjoy your 2nd to last day in February!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

2010-11-26T12:33:00.000-06:00

I have recently read the Harry Potter books and actually just finished them yesterday. As I type this up, I'm watching 'The Order of the Phoenix'. So, due to this recent event- I haven't made a bracelet in around a month or two. I have literally come to a hault at my work. Ha-ha! So, I also figure it is a fairly good time to post a few new patterns I've come across. Here they are, on the first one, I'm making the Gryffindor pattern, the one with the lion on it.

From left to right: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin

I hope you like them and make them along with me.

Your friend,

LaRyN

Victory is NOT Mine!

2010-09-01T16:47:00.000-05:00

As you know from another recent post I ran for STUCO Fundraiser/Treasurer. And today I got the news that, I lost. Apparently if you're not that popular at school- you'll never get voted in. As my sister pointed out- all 'politics' is, is a popularity contest. Think about it. It's true, isn't it? I know, right. Everyone says, 'You'll get it next year', but unless I become super awesomely popular- being a freshman will make me lose. I had great ideas- but apparently having the greatest variety of ideas related to the position- doesn't make you any better than the people who should've ran for class representative. Oh well, I'll try running for STUCO in my Sophmore year or more practically, Senior year. I don't wanna be a sore-loser on this so I'll just shake it off. Anyway! To the positive side of this post- on Monday alone- I got 11 bracelet orders!!! Anyone wanna help me make them? lol I'm so swamped!!! I'm trying my best, though! This is the busiest month of the year for me!!! BLAH! hahahahaha! I have a research paper AND all of those orders- something's telling me I'll be 1. Counting these bracelets into my 12 before Christmas and 2. Having to make the promise them into October! So- help is needed everyone! Thanks guys!

Elaine's M&M Bracelet!

2010-08-28T22:16:00.000-05:00

This is awesome! I can make it in your favorite colored M&M!!!

Running for STUCO

2010-08-27T17:51:00.000-05:00

So- I'm running for STUCO for Treasurer/Fundraiser- or what I like to call 'FUNdraiser'... And one of my fundraising ideas was to sell my bracelets and give the money to STUCO for the end of the year trip. Also- I
m starting to read the Harry Potter series for the FIRST TIME and so I'm making myself a 'SLYTHERIN' bracelet- :D all smiles!

Tell me what you think and
Order away!!!

Back to School Tomorrow!

2010-08-17T14:37:00.000-05:00

Eh- I go back to school tomorrow which means I'll probably have a lot of orders from people. Everyone is loving the bracelets! I'm never going to complain about another order coming in because I know there is another person I know who's started to make them so I'm starting to feel like iffy on it like she's going to take over my customers if she learns them enough- so NO MORE COMPLAINING LARYN! well- I better get my school stuff ready! I gotta big day tomorrow! :D I miss my friends!

Order away everyone!

GAH!!! I'M LATE!

2010-08-17T14:28:00.000-05:00

Sorry for my broken promise there! I've been taking orders all week- actually I just got a few today and I'm filling them! I have a new goal! I'm calling it the 12 BRACELET CHALLENGE!!! I am usuing 3 different patterns- I'll upload the patterns once I get my usual computer- mom's using it in Tulsa for the week! One is the little 'M' for an m&m, another says 'MMX' or 2010 in roman numerals, and the last says 'faith.hope.love'!

Once I get the patterns you should join me in a little friendly bracelet making competition- I'm making 5 m&m bracelets, 5 'MMX' bracelets, and 3 'faith.hope.love' bracelets!

A Heart Bracelet! Doubled Up!

2010-08-02T12:31:00.000-05:00

Joy Across my City!

2010-07-29T01:23:00.000-05:00

There is joy across my hometown in Lenexa, KS right now- a man went missing, Larry Schnackenburg, on July 8th and we all prayed and hoped he would come back safely! He went missing at Shawnee Mission Park and he left his car, wallet, and cell phone so there was nothing really to go on. Today they found him on a walking trail and we don't know his condition except that he's alive and safe. We thank God so much tonight that he brought Larry home!

A New Summer Collection

2010-07-14T22:26:00.000-05:00

We're almost to the middle of summer maybe a little past and I figured to re-live the moments I'd start a new collection of bracelets- since we have used SpLaSh by LaRyN on the webs.com site- I figured we need a very daring name for this something to make you excited and ready for adventure! The new line will be called cLiMb by LaRyN! So soon we'll have up some beautiful bracelets in shapes, stripes, and arrows all up in the blog and the webs.com site- just wanting you to buy them!

Inspired

2010-07-11T18:33:00.000-05:00

Recently, I've been inspired to share Christianity to people who haven't heard of him. It started at my church's middle school youth group when we talked about the 'Purpose Thing' or what is our purpose. Right now, my purpose is to share Jesus among my friends. The friend I currently need prayer for is Katie S. She isn't a Christian but I'm praying for her salvation, please pray for her too. So as I was thinking about her I know how she used to love it when I made things. So I want to make her a special 'Salvation Bracelet' with the colors of some Christian emblems. I have no picture of anything this time- but I'll be sure to make and post a few different kinds.

-Please pray for Katie, just Katie no other name, he'll know who you're talking about-

20 Strings Conquered!

2010-07-09T10:49:00.000-05:00

I have conquered the 20 string 'Avatar' bracelet that was so long I decided to make it an anklet!!! Here is the picture!!!

Cupcakes of String!

2010-07-09T10:42:00.000-05:00

Yes- I have made a bracelet with cupcakes on it- after a recent trip to 'Smallcakes' a 'cupcakery' in Olathe, KS, I was inspired to make it. So yesterday I sat down and I did! With a brown 'cake' part, pink 'frosting' and a bright red 'cherry' on top- it's adorable! And you can have one just like it for only $2!!!!!

Beautiful? Have it with any colors for the frosting, cake, and cherry!!!!! Enjoy this delicious bracelet and order away!

Recent work!

2010-07-03T21:14:00.000-05:00

I have a few new bracelets- one was just an 'I felt like doing something interesting' kind of thing! That's the first one I put up below:

My newest creation is a key chain for my church's Volkswagon Thing. (yet to be put on the keychain) My church has a series called the 'Legacy Thing' (because my church is called Legacy Christian Church) and it kind of went along with the whole Volkswagon Thing thing hahaha!

Isn't it wonderful? hahahaha!

Debating the next step.....

2010-07-01T13:16:00.000-05:00

I'm currently debating on which pattern to make next! I'm making a bracelet right now for my friend Ellie and finishing the Avatar monster bracelet! I just got all those new colors and stuff and thought I should make a new bracelet with them- you know, for a first in my new bracelet collection! So.... I'll figure it out and let everyone know...

NEW COLORS OF FLOSS!!!!!

2010-07-01T12:49:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I went to the store and got the GREATEST deal on string! Apparently, Joann's Fabrics has this monster pack of floss in the crosstitching area- 150 skeins for only $16.99!!!!! I worked all night getting those skeins on cardboard bobbins and my hands are sore from the string going through the creases of my fingers!!!!!

The new string (above)

I have learned the coolest new thing!

2010-06-28T21:31:00.000-05:00

This is a pretty cool yet simple pattern I have learned! It is possibly guarenteed to sell!

This is sure to be a hit! A rounded bracelet? Sure to be a favorite among friends!

Impossible..... not anymore!

2010-06-28T11:45:00.000-05:00

This was the bracelet last night

This was a little bit ago

And this is just now

I was beginning to think that conquering this bracelet was impossible..... but it isn't! I'm just over halfway finished and it is looking perfect! I think I will finish it about Thursday- maybe even today or tomorrow! It is looking so great! Yesterday I had to run to Joann's Fabrics and pick up two more skeins of 3808 and ECRU! By the way- if you want to make an identicle bracelet out of this pattern and the same exact colors, the backround color is 3808 and the lettering is ECRU. I think I''m going to sell all patterns that require more than 10 strings (in the alphabet patterns) for about $3 considering I need to buy supplies for it and then the rest of the money goes to RaphaHouse down in Joplin. Hopefully my friends will be able to afford that! They are all mostly broke! Haha! So am I! :D Well, hopefully they know that the money is going to a very good mission that helps the girls in slavery in Cambodia.

Going Along with the Impossible...

2010-06-26T09:19:00.000-05:00

The bracelet is looking really good- four rows and 20 minutes in and I've started the first letter, 'A'. It is HUGE! It will make your wrist look like a toothpick it's so thick! Well, here is a picture- but I better get back to conquering it again..... later!

Attacking the Un-Attackable.....

2010-06-25T21:52:00.000-05:00

This is the largest bracelet project I am attacking is the Avatar plain logo bracelet..... 21 strings of evil..... it must be like Fire Lord Ozai!!! :) hahaha funny, but this is a huge project and since I have done nothing like it before I am declaring it not for sale because I never sell what I call prototypes or a first of anything. Sorry- but if it works I will be thrilled to make another in any colors! This monster takes 5 skeins of DMC embroidery floss to make and a lot of knotting! Remember if attempting such things- the knot is all in your wrist- don't wear out your full arm and your fingers pull with your wrist and elbow moving the knot up and be sure to double knot as well! I'm setting a goal of finishing this bahemoth (is that how that's spelled?) by the Fourth of July- so in 9 days from now the bracelet or possible anklet will be completed! A picture will be posted now for a before picture and the date of completion as after!

Cool Alphabet Style Patterns (They can be all yours for only $2.00!)

2010-06-25T15:40:00.000-05:00

I have a lot more where that came from too!!!!! So if you don't like one of these put in a request and I'll get it!

Recent TV Show Interest

2010-06-25T15:14:00.000-05:00

Due to a recent tv show interest I've been looking for the logo! So the other day I was looking on a bracelet pattern sharing website and found it! An Avatar: The Last Airbender logo!!!!!

This is a full Avatar logo!

This is a plain Avatar symbol!!!

This is the Earth Symbol!

I'm planning on making the full Avatar logo by summer's end and another watch design as well!!!!!

Comment please!

What Material Do I Prefer?

2010-06-25T14:59:00.000-05:00

You may wonder 'Wow! These bracelets are so cool, I wonder what string is used!' Okay so not really but I figured it's pretty cool to show you what I use to make them! I use DMC Embroidery Floss which is 6 strands thick so it's pretty durable as long as you don't take scissors or a knife to it! So yeah don't play with scissors or knives anyway but only cut them off if you have too! :) This is my box of thread that has been put on paper spools!

And this is the inside of my string organizer! The shiny stuff on the right is my gum stash..... I chew and knot- very relaxing I guess!

And this is where I keep all of the string that is still in it's origonal skein state- I keep it in a light blue pencil bag!

And these are the books I use to make a new pattern and make the bracelets you get!

And finally the waterbottle I use to make the bracelets on! I use that because I like it better than using tape or safety pins! To me doing it that way can ruin the clasp on the bracelet!

There you have it! That's what I use to make my bracelets!

Great websites on how to make bracelets!

2010-06-25T09:48:00.000-05:00

Here are some great bracelet making websites:

http://inanna81.livejournal.com/ (this one is in Finnish but the pictures are great and you can go through Google and traslate the whole site)
http://www.friendship-bracelets.net/index.php (this one has great diagrams and the users can upload their own bracelets pics. you can also create your own patterns!)
http://www.how-to-make-jewelry.com/friendship-bracelet-patterns.html (this one has a few patterns on it but good diagrams)
http://knotcool.com/ (this one is okay but it doesn't explain things very well. and the diagrams aren't very good either- and honestly the difficulty levels don't make sense because some patterns aren't that hard)
http://hbernb.atspace.com/index.html (i love this site because the instructions are great and the pictures are good too- and the author has a great forum for disscussion now)
http://friendshipbracelets.superforums.org/index.php (great forum by the author of the website above)

If you want to learn how to make bracelets you should check out these sites!
