Hobbies

I frequently read about everyone else's trips and projects and, quite frankly, it makes me feel like I am a pack of poop.  I can't even keep my house clean.  I am not kidding.  As I take a look to my left there are toys all over the living room, and to my right, the kitchen table is covered with a stuffed tiger, the Book of Mormon (hey, at least I read), an empty baby food jar, a surgery text, and a Magic Treehouse Book.  I think I wiped it down after breakfast yesterday, but ummmm, it really needs another wipe down right now.

In another life, I loved making hand-made cards, sewed a quilt, scrapbooked, and even sat down to play piano on the side.  This doesn't really happen much (okay, at all) anymore. So, I figured I better post here that I actually am sometimes up to something productive. . . . for Christmas, I bought myself some beads and got a beading class for free.  I've made a few necklaces and bracelets, but have found that making earrings is simple and easy- mostly because I don't have to set up much or put away much.

So, yep, here's the proof of what I've been doing.  And it's really cheap.  I can make a pair of earings for a buck or so.  Aren't they cute?  (just say yes, even if you don't think so.  It will brighten up my day)
