That’s right! You get two days for the price of one today! I had too much fun last night (yakitori dinner, Press Your Luck & the American Gladiators season finale) to post so here now is the very simple ring I made out of some leftover buttons:
And also the pendants I worked on tonight:
I used pink sakura printed origami paper for one and a drawing from an Adrian Tomine notebook for the other. Tomine is one of my favorite comic artists so I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. In the next few days I’ll probably put more layers of acrylic sealer on them to make sure they can last me a long time.

I wasn’t sure I’d have something visible to post today. I skipped my normal crafty time when The Baby took his nap this morning and did some much needed home-maker type stuff. Laundry, dishes, etc. Scrubbed my bathroom sink and the toilet. I really should have done the shower as well but hey, let’s not get overly ambitious. Poor Daddy would have come home from work and left again, thinking he was in the wrong house.
But I do have a date planned this afternoon with the First Grader, hence my rush to get other things done. We do this occasionally, but we are long overdue. Daddy and The Baby went with us on Hooky day, so today it’s just us. We are going to see Spiderwick, grab some food and maybe hit a store or two. Hey, there’s an AC Moore right next to the theater! Hmmmm…
So we’ll go meet Daddy at work when his shift is done, give him The Baby and we’ll take off for our grand adventure.
Anyway…back to my thing. The Baby actually went BACK TO SLEEP after he woke up from his early morning nap. This is a rare occurrence. It took it as a sign from above that I should sift through the pile of beads and findings that are covering one end of the dining room table. And voila. I found some glass discs onto which I had already looped a headpin. Grabbed some chain, a handful of brass dangles and circles and jump rings and here you go.
