Interested in seeing other techniques? comment me! Here are better pictures of the bookmarks. The pattern will be $1 and will be for sale, no later than Feb.1 Here is a bookmark i made for my SIL from the pattern: My next projects are probably going to be a dragon plushy sewn  and another crochet square bag.  using: and maybe having a blue jean liner and handle to it... well, thats the plan.. wither or not it turns out that way will be seen. I think that is all for today, thanks for stopping by, ...

I had this idea last night, mentioned it to my sister-in-law, she loved it.. but wanted to get others thoughts and if others would be interested in taking part... I am thinking of making a Valentines day gift basket, and putting it up for raffle.. using a number generator..  the basket will be in a cute little wicker basket, with a half apron , 2 crochet dish clothes, a butterfly homemade candle and a card (optional) and depending on how many entries, a little crochet bunny/bear. everything will be made by me. thinking of $1.00 per entry... is that too high? or need to be higher, i hope to make everything with the fabric/yarn/wax i already have..  and depending on how many entries i get, the shipping will be free, if i get enough to cover it. (will ship USPS Priority Flat Rate Medium box $11) US entries only, unless international entries are willing to cover complete shipping cost. (so, i really have no extra money at all... would love to offer free shipping t...
