This is me happily driving our boat now that the pedals have been taken out. 😎 It previously could be powered by pedaling if so inclined but my ALS gets in the way of that. Now I just have to figure out how to grab the mooring lines if I want to go out on my own. πŸ˜•

I have the bestest adorable next door neighbor. After pointing out that I was wearing my Palettes and Petals pearls for her, she ran over that evening with a gift of more pearls that she doesn’t wear. Time to dress up for dinner out. πŸ₯° #handmade #palettesandpetals #pearls #ilovepearls

I do weigh if they were already in inventory and just modify for what is left. Otherwise random bits stash it goes.

I save my bamboo for working with silk. Metal for the wools. Plastic if I ever need to wash items on the needles.
