Wings of Peace, Strings of Hope

Every Easter the priest at our church would hang the most beautiful coloured paper butterflies from the ceiling. They would gently sway and remind people of spring, of resurrection, hope and new life. When he moved from our church he also took his butterflies away with him.
My husband missed this ritual last Easter and so he decided that this year we would make and hang origami peace cranes. Between the two of us we have made 170 of these paper cranes and now we are trying to string them, 14 to a string, on fishing line! Tangled threads, needles that keeping falling off the thread and little beads that have to be threaded and knotted between each crane, have made this a rather time consuming task. Once you get the 14 cranes on the line...where does one hang them all until they can be taken to the church later in the week?? Well the 5 that have been completed will rest on the tallest ladder we have, right in the middle of the living room! There is always a way to get this done.
Okay, so one must keep the vision of all 12 strings hanging, seemingly invisibly from the sanctuary ceiling, and swaying gently on Easter Sunday, and complete this slow task!
