The Bracelet-ing Is Coming!

Well, I did it. I stopped at Michael’s on my way home from my Dr. Steve appointment this evening and I purchased materials to make matching bracelets for my friend Mary and I to wear:

I have decided to use the design used for the pink Hope bracelet that I made recently, except the design will be customized with very special meaning for Mary. There will be two repeats of the pink beads, to symbolize her two bouts with breast cancer, 1 repeat of the white beads to symbolize her latest fight against lung cancer and a final repeat of the purple beads to symbolize that she is (and will continue to be) a cancer survivor. The charm assortments along the bottom contain angels on the left side and hearts on the right. I have yet to decide which to use, but I’m leaning towards the praying angel charm, as I truly think that she will love it the best. I will make her bracelet slightly longer than mine to ensure that it fits because my wrists are small and bony. 😆

I’m excited to feel like I am doing something. I will take some time this weekend, I think, to put the bracelets together (I estimate it will take me about 30 minutes each) and then I will see if she’s available for a visit so that I can take them to her and give her a BIG hug!

P.S. On an unrelated note, I tracked down the furnace installer (the company was bought out and moved, which is why their old number no longer worked) and they came out today and fixed the furnace. Yay! We have heat until the new system goes in. 😀
