My friend's back home from the hospital.
I am now back to normal...almost.
I practiced a good two hours yesterday.
And my Mom's present came in the mail: I got the beads to wire her a rosary.
I'm a jewelry maker/lover.
Austrian crystals are just...
I wear a strand when I play violin; they catch the light SO beautifully, and show up on tape...even the people in the back row of the Naples Philharmonic Concert Hall can see them glisten.
So I bought a good chunk of those for her rosary.
I'm going to go work on that...and clean my room.

What a thoughtful, lovely gift, Natasha! She will use and treasure that rosary the rest of her life.

A rosary is sometimes called "prayer beads"...it's a circlet of beads to keep track your number of prayers while praying a certain set of...um..prayers.
Sorry, that wasn't well written.
If you google it you can get a better explaination.

I like Austrian crystals, too. I'm sure the rosary you make will be pretty. There's always something special about handmade gifts.
