 Welcome back to the final week of blogs for Genius Hour! This project has been so much fun so far, and I am planning to continue doing beading even after this genius hour is done. This week I made variety of necklaces for Harley Meged to take with her to the NFR! I have made the necklaces called "THE HARLEY" throughout this week, and they are all ready to go to Texas and hang with the big dogs. This week was yet again fairly easy because I have been getting quicker with making the necklaces which each only took me about 15-20 minutes. My only struggle was I dropped some beads on the ground which has been a common struggle, but my mom doesn't know this time;) I did not have to make any necklace holders for when I send them to customers because I have not had any recent orders... Everything takes time to grow especially a small business that is very simple, but I'm just glad to be doing something I enjoy for my friends. My action plan is still up to date thus far so I...

 Welcome back to yet another genius hour! This week I made a necklace for Ilyssa Avitabile again. She did one like I've previously made for Harley Meged, but with a different main color. This necklace was very easy for me to make which only took about 15 minutes overall. My action plan is still going well, which was making a brand name that I came up with last week. I also was supposed to have a jewelry ladder to keep the jewelry on and to model, but I'm not sure if I want to spend money on it as I've already spent a lot on this project. Also with making a sale last week to the girl in Ekalaka, she got it and said she's very pleased with it! I'm glad to hear about this and hopefully sell more in the future. I will be making 5 necklaces for Harley Meged once she goes to the NFR in Texas! Hopefully people will notice the necklaces she wears:) Thank you for reading and hopefully I'll have another easy successful week next week. See you then:)  Next week I'll be...

Hello! Welcome back to week 6 of Genius Hour:) This week I expanded my horizons and made a necklace different than any other I've made before! I made a white necklace with little turquoise circles and light blue beads to blend around it. This one was sort of challenging because I had to remember to put the blue pieces in front and behind the turquoise circles. The picture does not do it justice and I'd say it looks pretty darn good. My action plan has switched up a little bit because at the time I wasn´t quite sure of what types of jewelry I would be making. Oh, guess what! I made an Instagram page and someone from Ekalaka bought one! My Instagram pages username is 3_bar_co so if you get the chance go follow it:) Making this page can be a big step in the right direction for my jewelry making business, and I´m excited to see where it takes me. I hope to be able to keep getting better and have more people realize my amount of work ethic, and determination for my project to be a s...
