A month’s work

This is what I’ve been doing with hook and thread for most of a month.  Each one takes about an hour and a half from first loop to tassel.  Then I get them wet and stretch them out with pins to get it to lay flat.  No starch, it tends to be sticky when put between the pages of a book.
 
Here are 15 crosses and one Christmas marker (which I made to show to my crochet class teacher).  Twelve of these are for graduates, one retirement, two sympathy.  Three crosses were given out earlier, making a total of 18 in 38 days. 

golly, this is the bestest hobby!

~~love and Huggs, Diane

Oops, there goes the timer for the blueberry coffee cake to come out of the oven.  Just in time……

    Mmmmm, blueberry coffee cake! How long of a drive would it be from where I’m at to where you’re at? :-)

    Umm, we live in a university town in the middle of corn and soybean fields, in central Illinois. That’s quite aways across mountains and prairie from where you are.
    However, there’s been a request for the recipe, so I shall have to get writing about that.

    Blueberry Coffee cake sound scrumpous and we will be canning them in jam soon so I would love the recipe seeing I can’t come over for coffee or a cup of tea!

    The crosses are lovely, like I said before you do good work M’lady!
