For Gram's 80th birthday, I had the idea of a diamond theme: the April birthstone. There don't seem to be traditional birthday gifts, but diamond is also the 80th aniversary. A birthday is kind of like an anniversary with yourself, right?
I found a white cotton yarn with a strand of silver sparkle. Perfect for someone who's always cold, but also lives in Florida.
This was also my first beaded project. I had been a bit intimidated by beading, but it's really quite easy. Now that I have the hang of it, I can't wait to start my next beaded project.
