[Nfb-krafters-korner] anniversary present

[Becky Frankeberger]

Let me back up a bit and refresh everyone's mind, including mine, giggle.

For our sixth wedding anniversary my husband bid on and won a class on wire
jewelry making.  The class kept being put off and off by the teacher totally
upsetting my husband.  So he put his paw down and I had my class in
December.  Well it snowed like a dusting which scares people in Washington,
since it really does not snow very much where I live between the Olympics
and cascade Mountain ranges.  So we left early to resume another time.
Friday May 27, sy, we resumed.  She had a lovely lunch for us and seemed
much more relaxed.  She did indeed teach me how to bend wire to make links
for jewelry.  I made the links to a bracelet with turquoise dangles.  It is
really cute.  She fixed my oopses.  Then she made basically the same style
bracelet but with sterling silver wire and the pearls from the left over
necklace and bracelet set my husband bought me in china.  I put the pearls
on pins, which made me feel like I was helping.  She tried one and got
frustrated. So, well, guess I really did help, smile.  But oh the silver
against the gleaming pearls, lovely bracelet. 

One thing I did on my own while she made my pearl bracelet was work with
wire.  I made a chain stitch then I put a bead on, chained more and another
bead.  I linked the two sides together then instead of it being round, I
elongated it to hang on a chain, smile. Everyone thought what a cool idea.
Hey it was fun, smile.
