[Susan Roe]

You're welcome Eilene.  I hope it won't be too big a mess for you to correct 
the last little section of that line of beads.

>> Well, it's like this.  The main string that connects to the left and 
>> right of the Medallion/center piece only has four Mystery Beads on it. 
>> It would begin with your five sead beads then 10 Hail Mary Beads and so 
>> forth, then end with 10 Hail mary Beads then your five sead beads that 
>> will attach to your Medallion/center piece.
>>
>> The tail portion from the Medallion/center piece would be your 5 seed 
>> beads, your first Mystery Bead, 5 seed beads, 3 Hail Mary Beads that 
>> represent faith hope and charity, 5 seed beads, an Our Father Bead the 
>> same size as the Mystery Beads, 5 seed beads and then the Crucifix.
>>
>> If you didn't have that first Mystery Bead before the Medallion/center 
>> piece, then as you prayed the Rosary, you would have to skip over the 
>> first 10 Hail Mary Beads to get to the First Mystery Bead and then you 
>> would be off in position by the time you came back around to the 
>> Medallion/center piece to finish off the Rosary.  Certain prayers are 
>> said on specific beads in specific positions.
>>
>> I hope I didn't confuse you even more.  If it would help, I could give 
>> you the prayers that are spoken at each position so you will understand 
>> the position of the First Mystery and how that relates to the prayers 
>> after the Fifth Mystery.

>>>I don't know if Sidney who taught the Rosary class a while back is still

>>> I wanted to just have 5 seed beads before the first decade and 5 seed

>>> followed by another 5 seed beads.  I then crimped onto the center piece. 
>>> Okay, I can live with it being a little lopsided, and I have not yet

>>>
>>> Coming off the centerpiece, back onto the tail that will eventually 
>>> connect to the crucifix, should I put one Our Father bead or omit it 
>>> before stringing the 3 Hail Mary beads followed by the Our Father bead 
>>> and then the cross?  Or is it that I have to redo the entire main

>>> Thanks for input.  I cannot locate my store/church bought Rosary to 
>>> compare how that one was worked vs the way I having been making them.
