Summer Nights and Non-Edible Bracelets

Summer is in full swing. I know this because I am very tired. Due to the fact that Thing 2 had 3 kids over until midnight. Which then went down to 2 kids until 4 in the morning. Then we were just down to our own plus his cousin.

I’d turned on the Vornado floor fan, I mean whole room air circulator, that Ricky Nugget purchased for me so couldn’t hear too much from the hooligans. Even the electric guitar plugged into the amp didn’t disturb me.

Damn kids. They were hopped up on sugar which I purchased for them. Which, in itself was kind of fun. They wanted snacks that we didn’t have, of course, so I made them all go to the grocery store with me and pick out exactly what it was they wanted. 65 dollars worth of snacks later, everyone was a winner except for our checking account.

I even bought a few things to throw into a package I was mailing to Thing 1. Hey. It’s how I roll. Heck, were he in prison I’d probably throw in some goldfish into a goodies from home package. Depending on the crime committed. I’m not that unconditional with my goodies packages. Like say, were I murdered by my own son, I probably wouldn’t mail him a goodies package. Something like that.

I sat at the kitchen table last night working on my new food-and-beverage themed jewelry. I was making a “Rootbeer Float” bracelet that turned into a “Cafe Au Lait” bracelet but now is officially a Cinnamon Streusel Coffeecake bracelet.

Can you see the difference?

Doesn’t that make you want a piece of coffeecake with a cup of coffee? Even on a hot June afternoon?

I’m working on a Blueberry Cream Pie bracelet this afternoon.

And a Pink Lemonade bracelet tonight.

“jewelry designed at my kitschin table” is my new jewelry tagline.  You like? I’ll let you know when the new food & beverage line gets posted. First I’m going to make Ricky Nugget redesign my website. I hope he doesn’t mind. I haven’t told him yet.
