"Again we know that the human hand is a wonderful and exquisite instrument to be used in a hundred movements exacting delicacy, direction and force; every such movement is a cause of joy as it leads to the pleasure of execution and the triumph of success. We begin to understand this and make some efforts to train the young in the deft handling of tools and the practice of handicrafts. Some day perhaps, we shall see apprenticeship to trades revived and good and beautiful work enforced. "
Beautiful words! And so, Sarah and I began the art of beading. I bought the book Bead Simple and we went to JoAnn's and Walmart and bought our supplies. Together we designed the necklace you see above. Then Sarah placed the beads and I secured the clasp.
Now you will see Sarah wearing the necklace...
In conclusion, I think Miss Mason left out one very important point...
how much fun one can have while wearing the handicraft. :)

I wondered how long it would take the kids to get silly. :)
Beautiful necklace, Sarah!
How cute! The necklace AND the little girl! :) Very creative! What fun to have a girl!
Looks like so much fun! I'm so not good at the crafty stuff. I need to do more of this with my kids.
Woah! You're doing crafts?! I bet Sarah was in heaven! It looks beautiful.
