Packaged Bookmarks

Remember these bookmarks?

The lady who ordered them for her church's Mother's Day gifts emailed me some pictures of how she packaged them, and I just wanted to share the photos with you.

I think she did a great job!

I had SO much fun crocheting these (all 75 of them!) and I imagine that they would make lovely shower or party favors.

Blooming Bookmarks

These cute little crochet bookmarks make me want to go grab a book and read something! (Kind of reminds me of that line in "Sweet Home Alabama" where Candace Bergen says, "Why don't you go back to your double-wide and fry something? lol) But... back to the bookmarks... lol

I just finished crocheting 75 of these Blooming Bookmarks for a church in PA. They're going to give each mother one at their Mother's Day service. I think these would be lovely shower/party favors as well.

Here are 2 close-up shots of the flowers:

The Amen! of Nature is always a flower. Oliver Wendall Holmes

I love crocheting with fine thread and a size 5 steel crochet hook. Here are two of my recently completed projects.

A pretty flower bookmark...


I'm going to make more of these in various colors. I like the idea of turning something plain and ordinary... like a bookmark... into something special and pretty. The patterns for the flowers and the leaves came from an old crochet book that my mother bought decades ago. The blue flower is a Forget-Me-Not... and reminds me of her.

My most recent crocheted doily...


The design reminds me of the whirly toys I used to get as a child. You know... those pretty, shiny, whirly things on a stick that turn when you blow on them.
