We've been having wonderful weather that is perfect for drying clothes outside. What a strange winter this is. We even grilled out last night.
I found tatting thread! After I took this photograph, I found two more in different colors. I'm so excited!
With some of the cotton crochet thread in my bag from the thrift store, I crocheted myself a fun granny square bookmark. I still need to weave in my ends, but I love it. I am practicing a few patterns before I put a few more in my store.
Honey Syrup is a great substitute for store bought syrup. I saw that the recipe was requested, and here is the recipe: I made a simple syrup of equal parts of water and sugar. I heated it until it dissolved, then added an equal amount of honey. I heated until the syrup was the thickness I wanted and put leftovers in a canning jar. For my large family we used 2/3 cup of each ingredient, but you could easily cut it in half and use 1/3 cup for each ingredient.
As for the Monster Cookies, I have several recipes for them. For the ones I posted about, I used a baking mix and Candy's recipe on her blog. Here are the links:

I love your granny square bookmark! It never occured to my little pea brain to make granny squares with cotton crochet thread!

Thanks for the honey syrup recipe; maple syrup is very expensive here and my kids love it!!
Can't wait until I can dry my clothes outside again!
Oh my word.. You STILL can hang up laundry on your clothes line?.. IN FEBRUARY??!!!! I can't believe my eyes! We've had unusually warmer weather the last couple of days, but grey and damp and muddy, so we still can't take the dog on the nice long walks we would otherwise like to take on the nicer days. We've gotten a little snow here and there, but so far, we shouldn't complain. It's been a pretty mild winter, I think!.. LOVE the beautiful bookmark you crocheted!... Have a great day! ~tina
