More Than the Moon, a Dream Come True June: A Baby to Read and Bead With

Once in a Blue and Yellow Moon Necklace

Some Flair Over the Rainbow Necklace

There's something old-timey and simple about crafting while your baby sleeps.  This is also true of reading while your baby sleeps, although that's less noteworthy because I do it every day.  Anyway, I found it comforting to watch Char Bar's little belly rise and fall as I strung this pair of sky-themed necklaces, the muted TV glowing like candlelight and the crickets singing outside the window.  What's more, working on borrowed time (and I do mean borrowed, as I paused while preparing this very post to change a poopy diaper) seemed to sharpen me.  I was more focused and less likely to doubt myself, as I sometimes did with unlimited craft time.  As a result, I was really happy with how these necklaces turned out and look forward to, at some point, making more.

Once in a blue moon, I break out the beads.  Because a little downtime is what every mom needs. 💙🌜
