vintage key and button pendant
So today I told myself I would do something crafty, creative, magical, and inspiring...
so I drank coffee...
and I drank some more coffee... and I pondered and then I glared at my desk...and the buttons and fabric heaped upon it... I look at my stamps and then I got down the vintage jar I had that contained some mixed haberdashery items from Vintage Violet. I dug through until I found a small rusty key and a few mother of pearl buttons. So I dragged out my jewellery making kit and went to work, it didn't take long to create this little key and button pendant but I have happily worn it around the house. I was wondering about getting a bit of black velvet ribbon to hang it on instead of the silver chain (I may have a look in the little knitting shop in town tomorrow.

fantastical things from Rowan
...but then it was time to go for a little walk before going to collect Harrison from school. As I was getting my shoes on (black converse) the werewolf postie brought me a parcel. What? He is totally a werewolf, I have gone on about this before, he is awesome, and so far he doesn't bite and I don't know if he has fleas or not....
Where was I? Oh yes he bought me a lovely parcel of goodies from Rowan who I sent some thrifted manga and a book page illustration (which sounds more posh than doodle) and a little typed note card. Well Rowan sent me the sweetest little manga pendant, brooches, a refresher sweet that the boy later stole, and a cute little ring.
I wore the blue and orange cameo brooch on my walk to school to fetch the Boy. I talked to my friend's mum (picking up the grand kids) and one other mum (who is lovely).
...I displayed my mad ninja skills of not being seen by the rest of the parents there. I do know a few mums that are quite nice and friendly but I'm too shy to be chatty with the others, so I wait quietly for Harrison to be let out and tell me about his day...
...telling me about his day consists of him saying they had mashed potatoes at lunch and not remembering anything else that happened all day. Ninja skills discarded as we negotiated what sort of treat he should get for the epic task of walking home. So I sighed and took hold of the seventy billion things he was bringing home and off we went to practice super stealthy ninja skills another day.

i knew you'd do something cool with that key! velvet ribbon sounds good.
i'm soooo jealous of that manga pendant - it's lovely <3
i'm trying out talking to the other Mum's this term - it's hard but i'm finding my alter ego "Avon Lady" helps :D
As a teacher and a parent I hate when my students or my daughter say they did nothing at school. I've found if you ask more specific questions like "Who did you sit next to at lunch?" Or what did (name a classmate) do today? Specific questions yield more of a response. It takes practice to ask those types of questions but it works.
The key pendant is smashing and yes, I think black velvet would look good. I have used ninja skills recently that include getting to school late. This means you don't have to talk to other Mums, Dads, Grandmas unless you really want to! Having a dog helps too as they talk to him instead :o)
Good dispatch and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you seeking your information.
