I've always loved crafty things, but making kafa's and kahoa's is a whole new level of craft. You can do whatever your heart desires and you have to broaden your creativity in order to turn something that you ordinariy find at your neighborhood Michaels into something that looks traditionally familiar to Tongans.
I learned how to weave the base and now I'm working with my gma to start decorating and dressing it up a little. I made 2 sets so far, one for a friends babyshower and the other for my sis Jigz who had to speak at church last Sunday. I'm diggin' it. Mine are no where near what my gmas look like but it's still fun to keep trying. The best part? Spending time with my gma and soaking up all the knowledge that I used to think I was too cool for. LOL
Gma showin' me the "ropes"

I thought it was hilarious that she had a "ring watch" on. Especially because the numbers are so small that she can't read them. LOL
