BIG Bracelets

I was home early today from school. We get out early every Wednesday, but today I left when the kids did. I had to. Quinn was home sick with Kevin today. Kevin had wanted to go in to work when I got home. Didn't happen. You see, he was home in the first place because he was barfing his lungs out at 4:15 this morning. When I got home, a little before 2:00 pm, the barfing started all over again. He is not a happy boy. Poor guy. He can't keep anything down. His stomach constantly hurts. He missed his baseball game too. He'll stay home tomorrow as well. I have a sub for tomorrow, but I will go in, first thing, to give the last part of our Lang. Arts test (STAR tests-state mandated), then I will come home. Since I was home today, early, I made up some more button bracelets. 

My mom wanted one is pinks and greens. I made two of them. She chose the top one. I like that one too. She especially liked the color of the bracelet itself. It's copper. I like the bottom bracelet as well. It has an Amy Butler button ( a scrapbooking embellishment) on it, as well as that sweet bird, which is also a scrapbooking embellishment.

Up close of my mom's bracelet. It's all pinks, greens, browns and a little white.

Up close of the other one. Pinks, greens, gray and white, on a silver bracelet.

I also made this one. I liked these colors. Nice, bright colors.

These are what the bracelet forms look like, before buttons. I am really liking the one with fewer gluing pads. I can use bigger buttons, or small buttons. The top two are great for smaller buttons only. The gold is really, really gold for me. I am more of a silver girl, although I do have some gold, and my wedding ring is gold. 

Word of the Day: Tired. I have been up since 4:15 this morning (dark o'clock). Once we got everything and everybody cleaned up, it was almost 5 am. For me, once someone wakes up feeling sick, or worse, starts throwing up, I just can't go back to sleep. Too worried I guess. I got up to check on Quinn, and he was wide awake too. I asked him if he wanted to watch some TV with me, on the couches. He did, so he and I watched "Lilo and Stitch," on Disney Channel at 5 in the morning. It has been a long day. I am sure I will be asleep on the couch very soon, and I am hopeful that Quinn will sleep well tonight.
