Learn to Crochet Crosses
Cross Bookmarker Craft
Here's something you can make with those small plastic baskets that your fresh fruits come in at the grocery store. I haven't tried this one, I make crosses from plastic needlecraft stuff, and have been making them for years. This cute craft idea was in an old 1977 craft magazine called Mother's Home Life. Also see the crocheted shawl, which seem to be coming back in style.
Crochet a Cross Bookmarker
Cut
a cross from the bottom of a plastic berry basket or something similar.
Single crochet around the edges, beginning at the center top. Increase at the corners to make the stiches lie flat.
Slip stitch to beginning stitch and make a row of chain stitches about 4 inches long.
Double crochet in the third chain from the hook 3 times, holding back the last loop of each stitch.
After the last doublecrochet, slip stitch all loops on the hook and fasten off.
Weave end into stitches.
Works quickly and very pretty with 4 ply yarn.

Prepare for a Recession?
- I'm starting a list here of some things we are going to do to try to prepare
for this... somehow.
We Put Solar Lights in our
House - We've had a set of outdoor solar lights outside our house for 3 years,
and thought, "Why not put outdoor solar lights "inside" the house?
Wind
Turbine Test - We started thinking about how we could build a wind turbine
to generate our own electricity.
Magazines
for Toddlers - I wanted to send some magazines to the grandbaby for something
to do during winter.
