FRIDAY FUN DAY!

A made a crochet bookmark for my mom's

 bible probably 20 years ago.

I recently found it and wanted to make

 some more. It's a fun project and

 it stitches up super fast. I think you

 will enjoy making them.

They make wonderful addition to Easter gifts.

I am planning on stitching up a bunch of 

them in different solid colors,

adding some buttons, little flowers,

or beads to them, to personalize them

 for my friends.

The white one with the pink pearls is 

designed in honor of my precious Momma.

 She loved bright pink. You can make them in

 favorite colors, and ambelish them to fit

 the personality of the person you 

want to give them to. And be sure

 to make one for yourself, too.

A Cross For Momma's Bible

A Year Ago Today, My Precious Momma 

moved from Earth, to her Heavenly home.

I  miss her so much, her voice, her laugh, 

and her hugs and smiles.

Yesterday while dusting, I came across her Bible.

No one loved the Bible  more then my Momma.

 It is all underlined and the margins are full of notes.
her hand writing is a little messy,
and looks a lot like mine. 

I say her Bible, 

But she had quite a few through the years, 

She would read them until they fell apart, 

then she would tuck them in a drawer 

and get another one.

As I run my hand across the pages, 

outlining the verses she marked, with my finger, 

I close my eyes and listen, I can hear to her voice,

 reading the some of her favorite passages out loud.

Psalm 37:4(KJV)

" Delight thyself also in the Lord: 

and he shall give thee the 

desires of thine heart."

She would Say, 

" This Bible is God's love letter to his children."

I decided to make Cross Book mark to put

 in Momma's Bible.

This is were I got the pattern:

Cross Bookmark

I used Cotton Yarn and a F hook

The pattern can be made 

with any yarn or thread.

I Love that the pattern is worked in 1 piece,
working around the ends,
instead of adding each end.
Not so many ends to weave in.

I added the little pink rose, 

as pink was her favorite color.

It made me feel better to read her
Bible and make 

the bookmark to put in the Bible.

I'll See you when I get to heaven,

Momma, 
and yours better be the first face I see."

I Love you.
