  yup. lots of glue. poured it on thick and then set the beads on. even the then 2yo could do it. it was a FUN project. if you have access to half a million pounds of shiny beads.

Meet Calamity Jane

I am a mother, gardener, cook, writer, educator, potter and amateur DIY engineer. Jane of all trades, master of none. I like to bake cookies, sing to plants, and curse like a sailor. In other words, I’m complicated.

And I like to share my complexities with the world, it helps me untangle myself. I hope it helps you untangle a bit too.

I adore hearing from readers, so if my words resonate, please drop me a note! We will likely be great friends.
