Today I slept over 17 hours so I haven't worked much on the rosary. However I realised that there are 5 sections of 10 beads not 4. So by the time I am finished with the piece it will be very long and heavy. It is beautiful and I made the links as small as I could but the size 8 pearls are making it very long. Besides that the cross I made is to small for the rosary. So now I have the dilemma of whether to finish it or to break it apart into 2 necklaces. Either way I will need to buy more silver chain to make a new or finish the current rosary. I'm not sure at all that I can afford some more chain with the price of silver. So I will look at my own jewelry and see if I can find a strong enough chain to recycle. I'm just sad because I wanted to give the gift next week. Perhaps the size 6 rose quartz that was purchased for another wedding will work!
Lee is working on the kitchen so I will have lots of space to start baking gifts. I'm still not sure what I want to bake but the stollen was so good last year that I have a feeling I will be making more! The only problem is will I just eat it instead of sending it! Of course there must be truffles, at least they are easy to make. With luck the first package will go out Tuesday!
Just finished "Pride and Prejudice" now for "Sense and Sensibility" and "A Study in Scarlet".
