With Irene looming, we had planned lots of reading, crafting and snacks for the weekend. Thankfully Irene didn't cause us any problems (I think we may have slept through the worst of it.) Not much of the crafting happened, but I did make this necklace to wear to a friend's upcoming wedding. It's pretty much a very long friendship bracelet with dyed and microbeaded wood beads.

Here are some new buddies who hid out from the storm in our backyard– they looked so cozy!
