Back in the 80’s

It was around 1987 ish. Madonna, Dirty Dancing and Neighbours were of high importance… and friendship bracelets were all the rage.

I remember helping myself to my mothers embroidery threads to make bracelets. She wasn’t impressed. Especially when I used up her pretty variegated threads.

Well fast forward 25 years (ish) and I’m making these little lovelies again. Did you make these friendship bracelets too?


Friendship Bracelet 2


And while I knot, I’m reminiscing about my life back then. It was simple - though I probably didn’t think so at the time.

Boys, school, boys, homework, oh and did I mention boys?


Reminisce with me - where were you 25 years ago?

  3. I was enjoying high school to the fullest! It's funny, just this weekend I was presenting at a conference with high school students and I said, "Picture this - summer 1988" and they all started laughing because they weren't born yet. Babes!

  4. I had a two turning three year old boy and lived on an island about half way out the Aleutian chain. I was teaching high school and spending my free time sewing.
