Happy Friday! I am so ready for the weekend. This is the first weekend in a while that I don’t have anything planned. I’m looking forward to spending the day with my family, relaxing. What are your weekend plans?
1. Vintage high waist trousers that I scored for $6. Look at the belt loop details! I love it. I have to incorporate this into my sewing.
2. Experimenting with unusual color combinations, like mint + purple. I also love navy + lilac and pink + red.
3. Spring nails! Don’t they remind you of Easter eggs?
4. Do you remember friendship bracelets? When I was little, the were called “promise rings” in Japan…only in Japan. I remember learning to knot the embroidery flosses in different ways to make bracelets. I recently saw some friendship bracelets in the instagram pictures (search #armswag, and you’ll find a ton of inspiration!) and decided to make them again. Oh I love it. I’m making them for no specific purpose, but just knotting the flosses for hours is amazingly relaxing. :p I used the tutorials from this site (Japanese).
5. New heels with metal caps from ASOS. I love them but they hurt!

I LOVE friendship bracelets. I cycle in and out of doing them, I actually posted a little about it on my blog: http://www.thecuteoctopus.com/2011/07/project-i-heart-snape-bracelet.html.
Do you celebrate Easter in Japan? I’m looking forward to spending the weekend with my family too! My aunt and uncles and cousins are coming to my parent’s house for Easter!

Hi Emily, I checked out your post! Thank you! I was on the look out for different knotting options, so this is great! I made a couple of bracelets while I watched some shows and it was soo relaxing:)
We don’t celebrate Easter in Japan. I go to church, so they will have an Easter worship, but celebrating Easter is not common here. Happy Easter Emily!
