And now for something completely different.
Every year so far, I’ve made something for my daughter’s teacher’s children. In kindergarten, it was this cotton sweater. In first grade, it was this baby pullover. Unfortunately, this year, my daughter’s teacher has three daughters, ages 14, 16, and 18. I love this teacher, but I am not making three full-sized sweaters.
Instead, I’m going with earrings. Four sets, because Emily said that the teacher needed one too, which seems only fair. Because I’m a stickler for high-quality materials, the beads and findings are sterling silver and the colored bits are Swarovski crystal. I’ll let the teacher decide who’s going to get what.
I’m pleased with how these turned out. I’ve got more dragonfly wings and Swarovski in my stash, so maybe I should make some for sale. Hm.
