Things you thought you’d never do: Opt to stay home on a Friday night with a new book. Brag to your friends about the soufflé recipe you finally mastered. Crochet.

Yep, it’s official – you’re an adult.

You may have settled down, but that doesn’t mean you lack style. Jewelry designer Claudia Lobão, a Brazilian-born bombshell who’s made San Antonio her home, has become a legend on Hollywood sets for her humble hobby of crocheting. Gold, that is. This isn’t your granny’s crafting – the delicate jewelry is spun with recycled metals and each light-as-air disc is one of a kind. Eva Longoria-Parker, one of her South Texas pals, is a huge fan so we know you’ll be too.

But that doesn’t make you a desperate housewife.
