Making Sunshine bracelets

[Chapter: Bloom knots]

Thank you for your kind comments on our fund raising effort for the 2 families who lost their homes due to the floods in the Philippines.

Last week I was making as many bracelets as my supplies allow me. After completing some 10 over pieces, I found that I wasn’t pleased with the way they were knotted to hold the clasps, and that happened in the evening before I was to hand over 20 bracelets the next day. Thanks to me for picking on myself! I had poor hub help me de-string, then re-string, while I took care of the ends, and made more to fulfill the balance. It was surely troublesome + tedious but at least I don’t feel uneasy as I continue stringing a new batch this week.

These bracelets are named “Sunshine” with the hope that as we take steps to rebuild our lives, our homes after a disaster, the grey skies over us will clear and sunshine will come around again.
