Bits of Progress: Keys 2553 - 2557

Yesterday there was a brief glimpse of spring and my energy and my spirits were both lifted. Snowing today and the tiredness is back. Sigh. Why do I live here again? Oh yeah, community, home, and lots of space and opportunity to make keys!

I tried to make this Key 2556 sad because I was rather down on the days I was making it…but somehow in the end it has a rather hopeful other side and maybe the one side ain’t too bad either…

This key is made with a tea cup holder that was from my very lovely grandma. It had broken so hence my “let’s make this into a key” choice. I still have the teacup it held (which isn’t broken) so no key from that!
