Jewelry-Making: A New Hobby

We started our jewelry-making today and had great success making bracelets for several hours. It was a lot of fun and even more satisfying than I'd hoped. The end product is so nice and professional looking--we were all pleased. Of course, with some experience behind me, I see the supplies I'm missing. Another trip to Michael's is in order this weekend. 

We read a lot today, played Pickup Sticks and Chinese Checkers, took Farrah for a walk. The girls did (most of) their daily summer work. 

Nutmeg continues to be happy as can be. She's hayed the place up fully, is flopping around, and poops copiously all over the room, proving her happiness and health. An adaptable bunny. She's been so adaptable, in fact, that it makes me think she might actually be able to bond with another bun. We shall see. She's been grooming her hop-n-flop, which is heartbreaking. Clearly she needs a bondmate. 

Farrah loves NH as well, chasing her toys all over the yard, taking long walks along the road, running free. She does not care for the hours from dusk onward, but who does? It's pitch-black outside and, frankly, terrifying.
