Wedding Crown of Crystal

Side wide of the Jewelry

Last summer I gave my niece my wedding crown, filled to the brim with Crystal. I saved my crown, because way back then I know my Grandmother paid a lot for it, my mom was trying to get me to pick out something else, but I was set on that crown, and my Grandmother, knew I loved my crystal way back then. My Mom and Grandmother were wonderful! I asked her if she would be able to take the crystals off, and make me a necklace for my 40th Wedding Anniversary. I told her no hurry, she had 2 years, little did I know that the time would be cut short. Last Sunday she came by, with everything that she made, I even have a few extras that I might add to my Memory Sampler. I couldn't believe she got all these pieces from the crown, must have been a lot of beads! I now have a wonderful remembrance of that day! Sarah did a wonderful job. She has designed many pieces. I just love these pieces, and I have a few weddings to go to this coming year, knowing that Joe will be with me when I wear them makes me happy! You did a good job Sarah! I can't thank you enough!

Update on "Hope"

I thought I would have gotten further on this then I did...the problem was...the frog came to visit and the flowers on the top had to be started over! All those purples were giving my eyes a problem they all looked the same!  The picture on top is what it will look like when finished! I will do another post later today as to what I will be working on next.

Up date as of 1/17/2011

First UFO Finished!

I have my first UFO finish! "Love" is a wedding gift, I have a few months before I need it framed, and I have another "Love" to finish, don't need that one yet, so I might work on that one in June. I will be starting on "Hope" today, work on that for a week, and then start another one, which at the moment I think might be "Tenderness" or "Fairy Grandmother"

Wedding Gift

I will take a picture of "Fairy Grandmother" Soon and post it.

Started my First UFO, 1 of 13!

This is the first of the 13 UFO's that I would like to get finished, it's "Love" by: San Man, I have 2 of them started. I had the side done, when I got to the corner and had to frog, because the corner was off! So I had to recount and restitch! I am only going to work on my UFO's a week at a time, before I get bored with them again! I will post an up date after the week, so on Monday the 10th will be an up dated photo!

This is the second one I will be working on "Hope" Starting this on the 10th of January
