Busy Crafters

The first beaded bracelet knit up quickly on size 0000 needles...although I have eyestrain from knitting with what are essentially sewing needles...I hope the colors aren't too frou-frou for E's teachers; they are rather pastelly and glittery-pinky...fey (as in fairy-like), just E's taste...



I do like the dragonfly clasp:





And while I've been dealing with beads, A was finishing his Imperial Walker. He used the spray booth that E and I got him for Father's Day last year for the first coats, then did the weathering and faux-dirtying. Plus the joke. I think it's great:







Pippin snoozes through it all, as usual, oblivious until food is in the offing...



And sweet to my ears...my mother, who swears she's a total wash in the needle arts, looked at our Ripples and commented casually..."I wonder if I could learn to do that..." I'm treading lightly, but I have very high hopes for her ultimate indoctrination...perhaps at our next Ripple Clinic (which, I believe, is tomorrow).

Beaded bracelet is pretty, I really like it. I will have to show my son the Imperial Walker he'll think its too cool. I learned some of my needle art from my mom and after a long hiatus she picked it up again in the fall at my urging. I am enjoying sharing it with her this time around. Happy Day - Karrie

Yes! She will be sucked into the ripple madness! We need to get my mom into it, too.
