LAST MINUTE GRADUATION GIFT!

I forgot my Grandson Chadd was graduating from pre-school to kindergarden! No way I was going empty handed!

So, on the morning of his graduation, on my morning walk, I stopped at the market and got five one dollar bills and a bag of the only candy they had that I could tie a string to.  He really liked his gift and by the time we had his gradation celebration luncheon, he had lost one of the dollars and eaten most of the candy!  (He really liked his gift!)

The necklace was quick and easy to make,  I used colorful ribbons I already had in my ribbon stash.  Below are "a few photos":   


candy, ribbon, money


 cut the ribbon for the nectlace approx. 34" long

fold the money & tie a ribbon around it

approx. 5" ribbon pieces

Hersey's Kisses Candy

tie your money and candy to the necklace and that's it!





Congratulations Chadd! 💗

FOWLER MUSEUM'S TEXTILE SALE

I'm a member of the Fowler Museum at UCLA.  At the museum's last textile sale fundraiser, I purchased this beautiful red scarf; I love it's deep red color and fringe.

and... I donated to the fundraiser was one of my original, handmade, burgandy and gold quilt-like throws.



Below are "a few photos" of the event:

I enjoy being a member of the museum and love the exhibits and special privileges membership affords me.   It feels good to know that my donation helps to enrich the lives of approximately 8,000 school children that visit the museum each year!
