Paracord Bracelets Made By My Son

My son Nathan has taken to making these paracord bracelets. He hopes to at some point sell enough to get more supplies and make them to order for people.

He has been going through  a lot in his young life. He is only 15 and last year lost a close and young relative. Not to mention nearly loosing his older brother. That was hard on all of us. This new hobby of his has given something for him to keep busy with. I have enjoyed watching him make them and selling them for him.

All the money made form selling these goes right back to him. After all he did all the work. They are very well made. He takes pride in how tightly he weaves them. They are not a very stiff bracelet even with the tight weave. They wear very nice. They are just better quality and more paracord in every bracelet because of his weaving style.

You can check them out on my shop here.

New Sympathy Card

I have been adding new items to Jacquelinespaper daily. New paper piecings and cards. Here is one of my favorites. It is a sympathy card. It has a greeting stamped on the inside.

Mark your calendars

I will be at a craft fair Saturday May 11 from 9 am. until 3 pm.. In the Gym at  Lawrence Junior High school. It's located in Fairfield, Me.

Monday

Well this is almost the end of the day. The start of another week. I don't have many plans this week. I have lots I want to get done but haven't planned any of it. I  sometimes wish my ideas would slow down long enough for me to have the time to do them all. I need to take time to prioritize my ideas. I need to still have time for spending time with the family and cleaning house.

Some days I do wish my hobby was enough to support me so I could stay home and do it. I still don't think I would have the time to do it all. I have a Birthday party to plan. That includes a cake with fondant characters. I do enjoy making cakes. I have made 3 with fondant so far. Sometime I will share them on here.

Well off I go to do some organizing. That's another thing that interferes with my creating. I get the organizing bug and have to start organizing. Trouble is I don't often have the time to finish what I want to organize. Maybe summer will bring me more time to get these projects done. I think I will make a list of things I need to finish and things I need to start. Then get them done this summer.

St. Patricks Day Coming Right Up

With St. Patrick's day coming up I thought I would share some earrings I made in honor of that day.

I made some earrings using polymer clay. I made them in post earrings as well as dangle earring and also rings.

You can check them out in my shop here.
