PONCHOS

sigh..I don't know, they were in all the magazines, they seemed trendy yet comfortable. There was a flurry of acquisition, I sucumbed and bought a nice tassly wine one and not too cheap either!

Have I worn it once? no, of course not.

whose idea were they anyway!?! yuck, BAD IDEA!!!

Moving from the sea

That whole evolutionary move from sea to land is where it all started going wrong I think. Why evolve? Why develop limbs and become mammals? Life was just so much simpler when we were plankton..sigh..nostalgia...

Girlie Things

Well when you are a young girl you can be curious about certain things such as sanitary towels and tampons and stuff. So in my curious and confused state I decided to stuff (I mean stuff) my trousers full (I mean full) of toilet paper in an attempt to emulate my mother and big sister. So I waddled around for two full days with jinormous trousers full of toilet paper waiting for something to happen and everyone was too polite to say anything. I am pretty sure they noticed, I rusteld everytime I moved. That was a bad idea.

Gee mary lets go explore the swamp...

This strikes me as a bad idea.

Origins of the species

Welcome to the chewinggumjewelery blog. A blog dedicated to bad ideas. The name origintes from my first bad idea (well one of the first ones i can remember) and that was my bright idea as a young girl to ..well yes you've guessed it make a necklace out of my chewing gum and wear it. This might not have been so destructive if I hadn't had long hair at the time. Well anyway the solution involved my mother, a pair of scisoors and a wooly hat for some time. Little did I know that day was to spark the start of a life long affiliation of bad ideas.

To my credit I didn't do it again, there were far too may other bad ideas to be getting on with.

Tune in soon for more of Bad Ideas!
