Hello everyone!
How’s your Tuesday going? I feel like I’m behind, always behind…
I’m trying to cram all my month-long work into this week because next week I’m leaving for Our Maker Life. Also, I’m freaking out about traveling by myself but that’s a whole other animal. I’m trying to plan patterns, get posts all ready (I usually do this but only about 2 weeks in advance rather than the whole month), and I feel like I’m already behind. I know I’ll probably be fine but I’m worried with not having that extra time, the time I’ll be at OML, that I’m going to fall behind on other things and never catch up. I’m probably just being dramatic! Ha.

Anyway… to this week’s pattern. I have wanted to do another fun and big pair of earrings for a while. I had my Tree Earrings I made in December and they were awesome to wear and a big hit. I had my Pumpkin ones during the Fall, and they had similar results as the Tree Earrings – people loved them everywhere I went. I kinda like that, in a way – people like my tiny ami creations as earrings. It makes me feel cool 😀 And these are so much lighter than if I was wearing traditional metal or plastic or something earrings. I quite like that because I already have gauged ears, I don’t want them to get larger unless I decide. And these are super easy to make.
Honestly, the hardest part of these earrings is how hard thread can be on your hands – I work with thread on occasion and I definitely need to take breaks more (same thing happens with bulky yarn too).

So, when I decided to make something stuffed for Summer I knew I wanted to make watermelons. They just read Summer to me, ya know?
I do hope you like these earrings and give them a try. They’re kinda big but that’s the fun of it, right?
