The Lucky Knot

This afternoon I went to the mailbox and there it was. The new bracelet I asked fellow T-TTC Nestie Gretchen to make for me.

The Lucky Knot was a Trollbead that I was given for my birthday by one of my very best friends. Instead of investing money into a full Trollbead bracelet, I asked Gretchen if she could make something for me featuring the Lucky Knot bead.

After I had decided not to do a Trollbead bracelet, I had actually exchanged the bead for something else at a little local specialty shop. However, that little bead kept calling to me. The Lucky Knot was very symbolic of our friendship. We met on the Knot back in the days of wedding planning, and she wishes us much luck in our pursuit for baby and life in general. And most of all, I'm lucky to have a great friend like Jess. That was it! I had to have something made using the bead.



Of course Gretchen came to mind immediately! It was fun working with her in selecting the rest of the beads to go into the bracelet. I have to say, I love it!

Thank you Jess and Thank you Gretchen!
