H.O.P.E. Bracelet

 mrsmike9 I was bored one day, seriously, who gets bored with ‘ms’, well anyway, I decided to make a bracelet. I used pretty pink mermaid beads, glow in the dark white spacer beads, and beads that spell HOPE, which is an acronym that stands for Harbour Only Positive Energy. It helps put me in the right frame of mind and reminds me to be kind in words, thoughts, and deeds.

Keep Smiling :-D

we can all use more positivity my friend!! One of my instructors from my aqua yoga class just came back from visiting Cambodia where she and her family are originally from- anyway she brought us all back a simple wooden beaded bracelet that was blessed by a monk for health, happiness and the wealth of our health and happiness.. I am just tickled.. she always says those words when we are cooling down 😊

You mean the almost 90 yesterday? 🤣

Amazing! Half my sunburn is already gone from yesterday 🎉 Today was cooler and rainy, but I planted a ton yesterday so it was great timing.

I saw on the weather channel that there was a lot of tornadoes in the center of the country. So, they aren’t in your neck of the woods, kdali ? That’s good, and it sounds like Spring has sprung in your neighborhood! :-D

Oh, that! Yes, we are in the tornado zone, but those stayed a bit west 🙏

It feels like mid summer 🥵 My sunburn got a little more sun today 🫣 It's May! 🤷‍♀️

I am doing OK. I was really sick for over 2 months some upper respiratory infection. That is gone but I am having a really bad problem with fatigue in the afternoon. I have lots of energy in the morning. My neurologist feels it's just from being sick for so long and it will take some time to get over it but I started being sick January 19th and this seems to be to long for the fatigue to still be an issue. But besides that I am still getting around. I go to the Y 3 times a week, I mow my own lawn and I am very active at my church

Lots of photography and hiking. The memoir has been collecting digital dust for awhile now though. The last thing I want to do lately is be stuck indoors.

I love the acronym! Especially since it helps you to think of positive things 🧡I crochet to fight the boredom. I just bought a bunch of crochet patterns that were on sale, and am starting on my first one now. I needed something more challenging to do, and I love the way the African Flower amigurumi animals look, so I'm starting on practicing those flowers, then putting them all together to make some fun things!🧡

Oh, I forgot to say, I LOVE the bracelet! The beads are so pretty, where did you get the mermaid ones? (I used to bead and my teens still do sometimes)

carolek572 profile image
carolek572CommunityAmbassador in reply to MSFlea

I got them on Amazon, MSFlea . Just search for ‘mermaid beads’. There is a ton of them, and it’s hard not to get them all. :-D

MSFlea profile image
MSFlea in reply to carolek572

carolek572 I will look! My teens love cool beads, so I'm sure getting them some as a surprise, and maybe beading together will be an awesome surprise! Thanks!

Thank you, ms23 !

Now I am curious about the African flower amigurumi animals…

MSFlea profile image
MSFlea in reply to carolek572

ms23 carolek572 I found a whale one on Pinterest, and that led me to Etsy! I love them! I am making a headband first, just to get the hang of making them, and then I'm going to make a Happy Hippo one for my MIL for Christmas. I don't know if you guys know the "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" song (look up the old one on YouTube, it is so cute) but my MIL introduced me to it, and she plays if every year at Christmas, lol. So this year, she is getting one for Christmas!!🤣🤣

That reminds me of a friend's email. It starts, IBAWE. When she told me what it meant I never forgot it. " I Be At Wits End".

I guess we've all been there, but putting it into your email address is clever.

So that's what mermaids tears look like! I believe the beads on the cochlear implant picture I did are those, indeed!
