    Beads and sewing


    I made some more paper beads this morning. I could make these all day if left to my own devices but that just doesn’t happen around here.

    I also made up another “busy bag“.


    I cut a denim slipcover from an old chair for the back and handles. The lining is cut from an old tablecloth that had a couple stains in all the wrong places.
    I love recycling!!!!

    My day…



    I made a couple more “busy bags” this morning after the kids dentist appointment.


    Between lunch and another appointment, I took our boy and a neighbor kid sledding to a near by, awesomely big and fast sledding hill. A photographer for the local newspaper was there snapping photos…we’ll have to wait and see if our kiddo makes the paper.
