Not only is it New Years Day but Joan's birthday also. Joan decided to have a craft party this year so she invited her sisters (me, Anne and Katherine) and a couple of
friends, Laurie and Sue (who is visiting from Australia). We are going to make polymer bracelets. This is something we can all make in one session. Joan and I have already had a test run where we made Christmas buttons, Christmas trees and candy. They are very cute.
Joan had a large selection of colours and after much deliberation, we all chose our colours. Then we had to mix, roll, and twist many times. We had to stick a skewer through each one, and then the beads were cooked. We did two different varieties. We had a great time threading the beads and putting the clasps on, I became so fed up, Joan did mine!
Joan made us delicious panini sandwiches for lunch. Some of us had to have a second half. Then there were presents, tea and cake, of course. We all came away with two bracelets which were very cool. I will have to do this with the children, they would really enjoy this.
Donovan had his first skating class. He was so excited though he was not at all keen on wearing snow pants. Detta is a program assistant (volunteer) during the canskate session. Donovan fell down so many times, I thought he would not want to go back.
