A strong desire to make something totally frivolous

I have had a hellacious week of school and after what felt like an endless cycle of read, listen, cram, regurgitate, lather, rinse repeat....I got a slight respite in the urgency of my To Do list.   So I had this strong desire to make something.  Something totally frivolous.  Not the squares for the afghan that I am working on in my few spare minutes.    Nothing tedious.   Nothing that requires a lot of thought.   But something that makes me smile.
