Non Neuro Typical Gift making

Chet wanted to give K a set of home made earrings. Typically he chooses to  make such things out of bread tabs and twisty ties.  Not exactly the ultimate in fashion statements!    In light of the craft supplies available at our local craft store,making a real pair of earrings that someone would actually wear, wasn't an unattainable goal.  We picked really cute faux turquoise charms and  some french hooks.  It wasn't till we got them home that I realized there was no way to attach them to the french hooks.  To Chet, this was no big deal.  "Just use twine!"  I explained the necessity of not using twine and back we went to the craft store.  With the help of a clerk we found something called jump rings which can be twisted open and will hold the jewel on the french hooks. Following me so far?  I even buy the tiny pointed jewelry pliers.

So what did I forget?  I forgot coordination.  As in Chet's lack of. Pardon me while I go bang my head on the wall somewhere.  Of course, he could not do the intricate work. He had OT all through school.  So while I helped him (I gave him the task of holding a magnifying glass which although not really needed, gave him a way to be helping) he regalled me with increasing ire on why twine would have been so much better.  Sigh.  They really do look lovely though and once it was done, I think he was pleased with them.
