Success!

A last minute project; make a necklace for my mother-in-law in celebration of her 70th birthday.

Hmm.  We leave on our trip tomorrow (Thursday) and, my mother-in-law has strong opinions about what she likes and doesn't like.  No pressure.

My husband picked the stone out of my small collection; one of my favorites...blue (my favorite color).  This is what I came up  with.

 

08/04/03; follow up note.  My mother-in-law really seemed to like the necklace.  When we gave it to her (at her birthday party) she took off the necklace that she was wearing and put this one on.  Then, she was wearing it every time after that we saw her.  She commented to me at the end of our trip (she had the necklace for two weeks at that point) that her friends saw her wearing it and said it suited her.  This seems to have pleased her.

At the birthday party, I was wearing another one of my own wire-wrap creations.  After she received this gift (it was one gift in a group of things made by each member of our family) she came to me and explained that she had noticed my necklace and really liked it.  She was very pleased to get one of her own.  I think we can call this 'mission accomplished'.
