Jo's Jewels

Image
Jo used to sell hand-made bracelets on eBay but she stopped. She now has a store of her own on Facebook. Check it out. The prices are right. The first bracelet for example would cost hundreds of dollars even at Kohl's.  Jo's Jewels . She sells hand-made bracelets, bangles, living memory lockets and other hot items that she hasn't made. Check it out. And something we can do on the road!!

A craft to do on the road

The motor home is getting a tune-up and we are thinking about our first one-week trip. I found a craft to do on the road; however, I am now making "Pandora" like bracelets and selling them and others and living lockets, which are wonderful!

Candy Canes Reindeer

These are so cute and even if you don't celebrate Christmas like we don't, these would be fun to give out to other campers!! Two candy canes back to back tied with yarn or material-covered wire, which I can get at Joanne's or Michael's. I'm taking my glue gun with me and voila - what a nice way to say "Hi, happy holidays. "

Arm Knit Chunky Scarves

Image
These take about 1/2 an hour and are so cute! You can use 2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn. People like the Wool Ease Thick and Chunky. I used both skeins at one time by combining the ends and knitting with two strands. I think I only used about half of each skein so I have left-overs for another project which means that this scarf only cost me $7.00! Here is a You Tube video and a picture of the scarf.
