Little




Last night I had a few minutes while the girls were both asleep and Jordan was watching a movie, and I decided to see how tiny a clay mama I could make.

So far, this tiny.


She fits on my pinky nail.

I like her.

Then I tried to brainstorm a way to wear this little mama. What could I string her on? Hemp is a little too much. A silver chain is too fancy. Embroidery floss, while not my first choice, was a good start. I began making a regular bracelet, but a quarter of the way through I realized it was going to be little because I didn't cut the pieces long enough. Besides, it was looking an awful lot like a friendship bracelet and I'm not sure if people over 13 should wear friendship bracelets. So I told Suzi I was making her a bracelet and she was excited.



She told me she loved the bracelet--and me.

That tiny mama is so lovely. And the bracelet for Suzi is amazingly sweet. I'm so impressed!

I LOVE the tiny mama bracelet! I like the way you wove the beads into the embroidery floss...very unlikely to come apart. Good thinking! Suzi's so lucky to have you! You're going to be such a wonderful influelnce on her creative abilities - and Ivey's too, of course.
