These were revamped into crosses by Grace Tan. I enjoy making them. The one on the left, I made a mistake at the bottom, so I just made the same one on the top.

Purple and Black Bookmark
This spiral bookmark was a special order. A lady who bought my black and white spiral bookmark wanted one with black in it for her daughter. I wasn't supposed to make it black and white though. She wanted her black and white one to be exclusively her own. I haven't blocked it yet. But I am happy with how the colors turned out.

3 more bookmarks
This is what I got done while camping the past two weekends. Both camping excursions included tractor pulls. My husband loves tractor pulls. I'd rather watch paint dry. So, I was very happy to stay at our trailer and tat. The spiral bookmark on the right side gave me some grief. I had made the whole thing and then realized that the first two rings were hooked up wrong to the next clover. Ahhhhh!. I was able to pick them out (backwards) and remake them. Not so easy when there was no picot to hook them to. But, I sure will be a lot more vigilant next time.

Butterfly and Snowflake hats
Got some more hats ready for today's market. I got the butterfly from Sarah Wood. It's a graph and was a little erroneous. But,
I got it figured out. I utilized the split chain and ring methods.
Always good practice for me. The white hat is a snowflake from Jon
Yusoff's patterns. My thread is Lizbeth,Spring Garden.

Bits and Pieces
I spent last week at my mom's, about 120 miles north. She is 90 and still lives on her farm. The only animals she has are a few stray cats that have adopted her. Why not, the food's good. I only had a couple balls of thread with me. Something I will take note to rectify on the next visit. Anyway, I puttered away with what I had for colors. The two snowflakes are from Jon Yusoff's patterns. It all will someday brandish a cap.
Tonight is Farmers Market, but right now, (9:00a.m.) it's raining. I hope it will stop by early afternoon.
