Day 350

I know it just looks like a DIY picture but it's really more than that.

1.) Those little sewing hands belong to a 7 year old. We had a sewing date tonight. I really thought I'd sew and she'd stand by and hold the fabric and trim the threads once in awhile. Actually, she pretty much sewed by herself and I felt like I was getting in her way. She said, "Heidi, we should really do this more often."

2.) That bracelet over that big hand is from a pretty special girl. She randomly came in to eat lunch with me one day and to tell me her story. At that point, she sort of just implanted herself into a corner of my heart so when she gave me this bracelet (that she made special for me) and a hug today it really made my job seem worth it.

My heart is full.

Day 272

I've sold a couple crafts lately.... but I think I'm way too busy to sell anymore. It was a great idea though, right? ;)

Day 233

I love all things words. I love word jewelry. I almost bit the bullet and paid for something I thought I could make myself (gasp). Instead I spent that money on a stamping kit and attempted my own. First try didn't turn out so great. Ironically enough I was trying to spell HOLD FAST and by the time I got to the A, my hands were sweaty and the stamper kept sliding on me. Ha.

Nevertheless, a fun little diddy in my attempt to do something creative everyday. And extra fun because I ran into my very favorite Jen at the craft store! It really made my day!

Day 203

One mini project is checked off the to do list. There'll be a blog post on him soon on the Hickstionary.
