Looking back at the archives, it looks like I first wrote about water beads last February. We had a package from the dollar store and they stayed in somewhat good shape for at least a few months. (They tend to get broken, dried out and lost over time.) The Bit loved them back then, and […]
Stalled Out
I’ve been trying to write a blog post for days about the creative letdown that comes after a really big accomplishment, like writing a book. Or at least it comes for me. Even though I finished my part of the book months ago, having it in my hands, knowing its a real thing out in […]
Playing and Learning with Perler Beads
