I feel a new Pinterest/Etsy/You Tube obsession coming on. I used this pic for my profile:

You can buy handmade and open a store. I’m not there, yet. I’m just socializing for now. I was enrolled into the “Crafts” community, automatically, but there are lots of communities to explore. Knitting, Jewelry Making, and Gardening are just examples I remember.

Valentines with Vivi

Valentines with Vivi

We made valentines and valentine jewelry, tonight. We ate chicken noodle soup because Vivi wasn’t feeling well. She persevered to get her valentines ready for school tomorrow. No store-bought cards allowed.

Vivi said this was her first piece of “sophisticated“ jewelry. She usually puts some beads on a string and ties it. She learned about crimps and jump rings, and this was her design.
This was mine.

Fresh from the Oven!

No, they’re not chocolate! They’re polymer clay buttons! Some are shaped from molds and some are molded by hand. (the acorn, the zuni bear, and the mushrooms, for example)

They need sanding and staining and sealing. Coming soon to a bracelet near you!
