Over the weekend I finished the bookmark I showed you the other day and also made another one.
Today's quote is from Fred Rogers..."Some days doing the best we can may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect - on any front - and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else"
DotPebbles makes another great animal! Thanks for the link. It's the awwww one, in case anyone's puzzled. Makes me want to get back into knitting Claire's patterns for tiny people and animals. This one's quite big by her standards.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for the link! Glad you enjoyed it - and perhaps that it might have sparked another idea for you.
DeleteGood quote. I think people tend to be too critical of themselves.
ReplyDeleteBeauty in bookmarks!
The Advent idea is creating lots of possible designs in my brain. A treat every day is like reading your blog. :)
Awww - thank you! I'm glad you think my blog is worth reading.
DeleteAdvent for adults is proving a little more challenging than I thought it would be...esp. when I don't want to spend a whole lot of $$ on it. Compounding the issue is that my friend is allergic to a lot of foods so I can't include chocolate...yikes!
Great bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for the Advent calendar.
God bless.
I seem to be on a bookmark kick lately even though I thought I was done with cross stitching for awhile.
DeleteNeat links on your post!! I love your little bookmark --such goodness...hugs, julierose
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the links. Bookmarks are fun to make and don't take a whole lot of time.
DeleteFabulous finishes Mary Anne (love alliteration!) and that little guinea pig..... so adorable! I really liked the jewellery holder too. Thank you for all the marvellous links xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the links! I certainly have too much fun searching them out in order to share.
DeleteBoth are great bookmarks, I really like the friends/book/coffee!
ReplyDeleteThe mason jars are a great gift, I made banana bread in them one year for teachers.
The recipients of both bookmarks are friends I've had for nearly 40 years and we've been getting together for coffee pretty much every week for all that time.
DeleteYour bookmarks are beautiful, Mary Anne! Your friends will love them.
ReplyDeleteMy friends both enjoy reading so I thought a bookmark wouldn't come amiss.
