Last week, spring break officially started for the kids Friday, with no school. Cue the bad start to spring break....Jodie up all night long, throwing up every hour on the hour. Friday, it was me who was sick and throwing up. Saturday we sent 3 kids to a friends for the day, and we were off to the Spelling Bee!
Katie did excellent at the Bee! She was not a finalist, and did not place, but she did amazingly well for her first time at State! There were 49 kids in the state/regional. Katie was one of 5 of them who were in 4th grade or under! I am so proud she got up there and did her best!
The rest of the days have been filled with another child falling victim to the flu, Jesses classmate coming over to work on a science project due next week, and phone calls with surgery coordinators, getting ready for Katies surgery next week.
I got my new project supplies in! I have made a few items and am getting the feel of whether I'm liking this new "art", and I know I wasn't pleased with the condition of the glass. I have done soldered pieces, and still do when I have time. But thought that these new glass pendants would still have a fun look, with less work. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about them yet...what do you think? They will have a bail at the top (like the one on the bottom right) to hang from a necklace.
Several of them are bunnies. I'm going to go to my little sisters 3rd Annual Fiber Festival soon, and thought I might try to sell a few while at the event! The one in the bottom right, was the first one I made. I soon discovered that it was much too light to show up, and I believe the flash is reflecting off that one, causing it to be even less visible. But I still like that you can add whatever image you want to, and have some options. But I don't think I'm liking them as much as the soldered pieces.
I'll keep going with them. I bought limited supplies, so if I don't like them or their results, I don't have a ton of supplies to use up.
What's your favorite hobby or things to create?

The only craft I ever do anymore is blankets and shawls. Ever since I started Wrapped in Love I feel guilty if I work on anything else. I guess I feel like I'm letting my patients down. Besides, my bedroom closet is PACKED with yarn and fabric that needs to be used :)
