Bookmark for a friend in Germany

I made this bookmark for a bookmark exchange with a friend in Germany. The pattern is from Kersti and is called Stumpy. It is a very easy pattern and I enjoyed making it.


Below is the bookmark that Karin sent to me from Germany. She said that it is her own pattern, I love the colors of it and it is a very beautiful bookmark. I am so glad to have received it.

New Toy

Well over the last 2 weeks I have not had much fun or felt like doing much crafts thanks to some major car trouble. Been real down in the dumps. WELLLL not any more since I got my new toy. I am having so much fun in it and really like it. Even Sam likes it, he just jumps right in.

It measures 4.75 x 5.75 inches. I made it with DMC Pearl Cotton Floss called Summer Breeze. Hope you like and thanks for looking.

Clover Doily Round 1

Well I decided to try out making a doiy for my new kitchen table. I found a Clover Doily patterns by Eileen Stafford and decided to try it out. Here is Round 1.

Learning new things

Well I decided over the Christmas Holdiay to try my hand at something new. I was very inspiried by some tatting that I had seen on another craft site so I decided to try it out. Well I am now hooked on it also. I went and got a book at my craft store and here are my first three tries. This pattern came out of a needle tatting book called "Learn Needle Tatting" by Barbara Foster.
