Its summer holidays and I have just restarted making friendship bracelets.
They don't sell embroidery cotton here on our island so short of buying off eBay or going to the mainland, I am kind of stuck for supplies. This has been putting me off for months and a friend of the family had suggested using wool instead. It sounded like a poor option at the time but,....
Yesterday we were in the post office and they sell wool there too, yes,...........wool at the post office,.....and some clothes, trainers and you can even rent a video for free ha ha ha.
The wool was very brightly coloured and I think because of the recession the supplies are running low and they are not being restock or have not been for months!
So we decided to buy several large-ish balls of wool. We got some 'girl' colours and some 'boy colours and altogether spent about £10.
When I got home I got out my friendship bracelet gear and my bead box with supplies and oh, I forgot to say we bought a kind of 'hanging stand' thing that I can use to store the bracelets I have already made and also hooks at the bottom for a 'Pull Attach' whilst making them. It quite cool.
This morning we read lazily in bed until mid day and then went down to start creating ;)
I had a go yesterday and made bracelets, ankle chains, and necklaces for myself and my sister and her friends. Soon our Craftroom adjoining the kitchen was full of new onlookers calling out colours for their choice. The boys though were too shy to wear bracelets as the islands are not quite as 'relaxed' as the mainland or overseas.
