Got the rainy day blues!!!

OK....I don't really have the rainy day blues because with the rain means we stay at home (of course even if it wasn't raining today we would be at home because of the Chazman...he is feeling better but not enough to want to get out of bed.) BUT since I am at home I am twisting the time away.

My mermaid muse decided to come out and play. Mermaids love shiny baubles and this bracelet has some shiny baubles...hehe

It's hard to get a really good photo with a rainy day but I think you can see the mermaid inspiration in it still. I used some of my sea green yarn as the middle cording and some of my dark green hemp to do the twisting with. I added some glass beads in different hues of green around the twist....one of my silver Koi fish charms and on the side dangles more glass beads in hues of green along with some of my sterling silver starfish beads and one of my rainbow crystals with faux diamond spacers. "Shiny baubles...everywhere....shiny baubles take me to the mermaid's liar." (ok I know that was bad but I just couldn't resist...hehe)

I'm working on some more bracelets....some more double stranded with beads sewed in between...one with some of my vintage military buttons and one with pretty faux diamonds and pearls. OH YES....I am enjoying staying home.

Until next time.............Hugs,

Teacher's got a different bag ^_^

Good Morning!!! It seems that our walks to school in the mornings are "OUR" time to talk about things and our time sitting at the table in the afternoons playing Farkle. (yes yes we are hooked BIG TIME)  Chaz said he was really liking the goodie bags but really didn't think Mr. H (his teacher) and Mr. S (student teacher) would like the friendship bracelets. He was so cute once it came out of his mouth because he looked at me with the strangest look and started back peddling really fast. "Ohh no momma...they WOULD like them but I don't think they would wear them." He was so afraid he had hurt my feelings. Such a sweetheart...I'm telling you and any girlfriend in the future had better thank me for doing such a good job raising this southern gentlemen..hehe!!  Although, hmmmm...he has made a point and given me something to ponder on.

I thought about making them a bracelet out of twine or hemp but then thought that perhaps they might not be that kinda guy. NOT saying that in a negative way at all.....I dig seeing a man wearing a hemp bracelet but the look isn't for everyone. Now what can a man use everyday that I could make and still make it using my twine? AHHH HAAAA....a keychain!!

Another simple but AWESOME project. (if I must say so myself..hehe) Using the same macrame twisted square knot I tied making the friendship bracelets...I made these key chains.  I didn't want to put glass beads on these so I used one of my sterling silver starfish charms and one of our natural shells found on one of our beach walks. I do believe they will be surprised when they open up their monster bags. Of course, the heart POP ring and sweet tart hearts could surprise them too but then again....even us adults like candy!!!

Until next time............Hugs,

I had an Ahhh Haaa moment a little while ago and realized that Chaz is changing classrooms and has another teacher he needs to remember plus his sweet speech teacher. So here's what will be in their Valentine's goodie bags.
