Man, it’s good to get out and do something DIFFERENT!<\/p>\n
I just finished an adult education class, taught by Lily Chen, where I learned to make a leather wrap bracelet.\u00a0 Ingredients are freshwater pearls (choose your color), brown or black leather, and a cute metal flower button.\u00a0 Lily is a great teacher, and I learned fast and am now determined to make a million of these very cool bracelets – some for me, some for, oh, sisters and friends and such.<\/p>\n
And the best part is that the materials for this totally rad bracelet cost all of fifteen dollars.\u00a0 I’m sure if I were to buy this from some jewelry catalog (like maybe Sundance, which I love, by the way) it would cost a LOT more.<\/p>\n
Actually, the best part is that I used my brain to do something non-work-related and creative and fun.\u00a0 And I succeeded at it (unlike the pearl knotting class I took a few weeks ago, where I had a defective piece of silk and my knots wouldn’t slide and I got more and more frustrated and hot and sweaty and embarrassed at my incompetence).\u00a0 It’s good to have a new obsession.\u00a0 Abby happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
