. . . from the handiwork journal


Finished this baby blanket.


 

These bookmarks are not a new project, but a "found" project I found tucked inside a container.  I have no idea how I made the flower part (I assume printed on cardstock and sealed using the library resources).  I simply crocheted the "string" part of them.  I honestly do not know why I made them, but they are stored in a bag to donate to the little library service program.  



I finished these 3 crocheted flower bookmarks (had them in parts for a while now).  I have added them to the service donations for the little libraries as well.


For those who crochet -  Something fun to share!  


Go to the National Park Service (on your computer or phone), and put in "crochet" in the search bar.  They have free crochet patterns for a Beaver, Lighthouse, Walleye, Saguaro Cactus, and a few more. Who knew?

Love the blanket! I have a purple and white one going now. The bookmarks are great and someone is going to love them. I'm definitely going to check out the website for the National Parks. We're driving across South Dakota right now, almost to Rapid City. Tonight we'll camp in Buffalo, WY and then tomorrow we'll get to see our son and our oldest two Grandkids. We are so excited to see them. It's been a year!
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
