Friday Five

A short week this week - it's the Easter long weekend! Here's what I was up to this week:

1. Pat left for Montreal again on Monday - but only for 2 days this time. He was home late Tuesday night. I made the most of my time alone by crafting, working on my research paper & watching silly TV shows.
2. I experimented dyeing eggs with natural pigments. More of a fail than a success - I think I'll be using Kool-Aid with the kids this weekend. Much easier & A LOT less stinky! I also made up some Easter baskets for the kids - we rented a vehicle & headed home late last night.
3. I finished up this custom lanyard for my friend Angie. She asked for it to have a magnetic clasp so that it could be ripped off easily (for safety reasons). I'm really happy with how it turned out - much prettier than those store-bought ones (in my opinion)!
4. I also finished up my MSOE March challenge (entomology) - just in time to get started on April's challenge: Henrietta Leavitt!
5. I listed this new necklace!
