    That’s so funny that you’re making friendship bracelets too! I randomly picked up some embroidery thread at the start of this month and have been making them like mad ever since– it’s like a summertime thing or something, bringing me back to Brownie Camp, haha!

    Ha! So funny, I made friendship bracelets this weekend, too! I had forgotten how fun (and almost therapeutic) they are to make.
    Remember when we made them for that craft fair in 5th grade? And the painted pots and rocks? Gooood times!!

    I rediscovered an actual in process friendship bracelet from the early 80s this week, along with a huge wad of embroidery floss. I organized my supplies, including some I stole from my mom. I guess it wasn’t the first time I borrowed her materials.

    that’s so funny, just yesterday I was thinking I should get some embroidery floss and try my hand at friendship bracelets again like when I was a kid in the summer! I look forward to seeing more of yours and I think I’ll visit the craft store after work today! 🙂
