Creativity

At the end of January we had a girls night out it was super fun to spend time with everyone. We made jewelry, which sparked a new hobby for me. I've been making lots of fun necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
These are the two that started it. I really like the white catseye beads, but haven't been able to find more anywhere.


Here are some pictures of what I have been working on. Some of the pictures are from my phone so they aren't the best quality, but you get the idea.







Here is everything I've made. I like to look at it all together.

This is what I made my Mom for Mothers Day. I was too excited to wait til May though so she got it yesterday. There are four 'eggs' for her four kids and they are color coordinated in order. (Yes I thought about it too much,) but I love the symbolism of the bird and her nest.

This was the first nest I made.
I really like this one, and it looks really cute on.

Matching earrings.

Martin also has a new hobby. Candle and soap making. He is really enjoying it, and I love that we can share interests. I can play Dungeons and Dragons with him and his friends, and he can be crafty with me.




He made me the next two for Valentines Day. Such a sweet surprise, and very romantic too.
