Best things in life are (almost) free…
One of my girlfriends has a boy Rockstar’s age who often woos her with little trinkets – you know, the bead threading sections they have in school (at least, Rockstar’s school has one) where I imagine kids love to make bracelets and necklaces and so on… Except maybe my kid, who’s told me before he never goes to that area, just not interested…
So anyway, my friend’s little boy presents her with jewelry from his beading efforts in school <swoon> It makes me both Wow, she has such a charmer and Y-eah I can forget it, my son is so not like that (though a mum can dream :D)
Rockstar knows it too – eye-ing them sitting next to us one day and a bracelet (I think it was) being presented with a little flourish, he says to me, “But I am really not like that, Mum. You know I’m not like that, right…”
- “Before” Shot… “Keychain” above, bead bracelets from Stanley Market below
So instead, Rockstar produced a “keychain” he made in school shortly after. And is very proud of it, and checks whether I’m using it (this is also like the father) except I was afraid I might ruin it on a keyring/ chucked about in my handbag, so I went looking for beads in Stanley Market (where I also got his spikey bag and “disposable” tees) to turn it into a necklace…
- “After” Shot…
Anyway I was just thinking his father said almost the exact same words to me back when we were still dating… “I’m not like that… You know that right….”
And now I have two of em. Sigh.
Is Rockstar happy to see you wearing his “keychain” as a necklace? That’s how much you treasure his “keychain”. 🙂
He approved of me making it into something n he said it was nice.. After it became a necklace tho, he kinda lost interest 😀 ah well so I don’t have to wear it all the time..
