Crocheted Book Marks for Valentine's Day

Jeni Says:

Here is a quick and easy craft for Valentine's Day. I made up a few, and they only took me a few minutes each.
I have attached heart shaped buttons for Valentines Day, but they can be any buttons as decorations to give any day of the year.
I think they are great as an insert for greeting cards.

Pattern:

Round one: Ch 5, join to first ch to make a loop.
Round two: Ch 3, Dc 13 in loop, join with slst to 3rd ch of beg. ch 3.
Round three: Ch 3, Dc in same sp. 2 dc in each dc to end of round. Join with slst to 3rd ch of beg. ch 3.
Round four: Ch 4, skip one dc, sc in next dc. *Ch 3, sk one dc, sc in next dc*. Rep * to *12 rimes. Ch 3, slst in 1st ch of beg. ch 4.
DO NOT CUT
To make tail: ch 60, dc in 3rd ch from hook. 12 dc in same sp. slst in top of first dc. Fasten off.

Boy.... What a week!

Jeni says:
So, I decided to take up blogging the same time as I started into several other projects!
I am working on a new website for my inlaws Campground. The old one is ancient, and really needed updating. It isnt finished yet, nor is it online yet, but I will be sure to post the link once we get it up and running. Hopefully it will be good to go by the end of the winter, and ready for when the campground to open in the spring.
I also volunteer for the Cobourg Museum Foundation, and am helping to plan and open the Sifton Cook Herritage Center this spring. We have had quite alot of things come up latley that need attention, as we are comming closer to the Grand Opening in June, and still have piles to do. I won't go into too much detail, because I am sure I will write about it again as things progress...
Now, I did mannage to sneak in something crafty... I got the opportunity to make some doll clothes. My boss's daughter got a new American Girl Doll for Christmas, and she wanted some new clothes for it. So I spent my day off sewing a very cute doll jacket, hat and boots, all trimmed with pink pom-poms. I delivered them the other day, and today I got a card from Kailey to thank me for the outfit. It was cute, and I am a little suspicious that she spent as long on making the card, as I did making the outfit! I scanned the card to share it here.



I am not sure what is up next for me... I have opened an etsy shop, and am looking for great ideas to fill it up!
