bracelet DIY attempt

I say attempt because after a few hours of attempting to create a masterpiece, this is all I ended up with:

Pathetic, right? But hey, I like to share the good along with the bad. I mean, what I ended up with is not terrible because I will still integrate it into my wardrobe, but it's so simple that a newt (newt, really?) could do it. Apparently I do not possess the patience required for tedious beadwork and finery. I am not easily dissuaded, however, and I will attempt to create something utterly fabulous before we ring in 2012, as stated in my 12 Before 2012 list! You all have faith in me, right?
