gifts

For the two birthday girls yesterday: 
1. Tessa J. - my sister 
2. Jodi C. - my friend and quilt extraordinaire! 

I made two bracelets. Tessa's has not yet been sent, but here is a picture of the one I made for Jodi: 
The trick is, instead of buying all the bead kits and tools, you walk into the bead store, say, "I have $10, I'd like to make a bracelet." Then they pull out little containers of all sorts of colored-beads, give you the clasps, the tools, the mat, the space, and the help when you need it! It is the greatest thing. And lots of fun. Try it at a local bead shop, if you're curious.
