A Rosary for Daisy

My lovely Dad died just days before Christmas, and a family friend called Daisy (my sister's mother in law) said the rosary for him at the church. Daisy realized that in all the rush and kafuffle involved in arranging a funeral, he had no rosary beads in his hands. So she very lovingly wrapped her own special rosary beads (from Lourdes and made of rosewood) around his hands.

I very much wanted to thank Daisy for her kindness and so I decided to make her a very special rosary.  It is made entirely of Swarovski crystal and pearls, and I added a very ornate double cross.

Thanks Daisy - may your prayers sparkle their way to Heaven!
