OK. Who knew that making beaded bracelets was so fun?
a.k.a. Swiftie Bracelets! Annie wasn’t even aware that they were a THING, and laughed… leave it to you to find the associated crafting endeavor! Even better, I found a helpful spreadsheet, too! One of my favorite things.
I had to do MARJORIE (Spotify) first — one for each of us. The song is on the list to memorize, and is a tribute to TS’s grandmother, an opera singer (some of her vocals are sampled on the track) who was about 10 years older than our mom, whose name was also Marjorie. There are definitely some stylistic & generational similarities between them (not the singing, however, lord no)! She (our Marjorie) died 10 years ago this month, and I don’t know how we’re going to make it through that song. I’m going to have to go the concert mascara-free… I thought if I listened to it a lot, it’d get better, but I think it’s actually getting worse.
Anyway, after securing a “kit” on Etsy, crafting my spreadsheet, and going shopping for additional supplies, I’m off… deep in the rabbit hole!

This is so amazing!!! Love it! ♥️👏
How swiftly you’ve become a full-fledged, bracelet-wearing, song-singing Swiftie!
Haha! I love every bit of this, Vicki! (and I especially LOVE that patriarchy bracelet!)
What a delightful rabbit hole – fun and surprisingly meaningful … please keep sharing about the stories you’re stringing together!
Those are great! Now I want to make bracelets again. Actually, ankle bracelets! Mine are about 10 years old, and the clasps are starting to fail.
I made a fuck the patriarchy bracelet, too! All Too Well is my favorite TS song and I absolutely had to include that. I also did In My Bookish Era (cuz I am a librarian after all) and Headfirst Fearless. So much fun to make these!
I love “crafty things” like that . . . where you just go right down that rabbit hole and enjoy a little tear on a project (or 100). Have fun!!!
