J is for Jewelry-making

I guess I don’t have enough to do, so I promised a neighbor I would make some jewelry to contribute to her charity drive for the local children’s hospital at Christmas. She doesn’t want knitted or crocheted things because apparently everyone wants to knit for her, and she can’t sell it all. I’m hoping by making such a commitment, it will force me to sit and bead with purpose and focus. In the past, I gave up too easily in frustration with crafts, but recent success with knitting and crocheting has made me believe I can take this on, too.
