Stupid Beading Tricks: The Only Child bracelet

After I gave my coworkers the New Orleans Bracelets, I had a humorous encounter with a member f the business department, who was impressed with the bracelets and wanted one too. “I’m an only child!” she said. “So you have to know I’m not used to seeing anyone else get something I don’t have!”

Well all of my New Orleans fluorite was spoken for, so I said I’d make her a different bracelet. The next day she wore an orange sweater.

I think I’m moving away from working strictly in silvertones, because I really wanted to deal with brass today. The blue beads are glass, the orange are ceramic and the little dangly beads are plastic. I was going to add a ceramic focal but it seemed too much.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
