  1. Just beautiful! I am thinking this would test my crocheting abilities, but I will hang onto the pattern just in case, in the future, I decide to give it a go. Would be so nice to get a few lessons from you. :) Blessings for a wonderful day! Tammy

  5. Did you mean for this to go into the Friday Funnies or did you want it in Its So Very Creative. I will see if I can move it over because I think that is where you want it.

    1. Hi Ellen, this is about a 5 x 7, maybe a little larger with the 10 thread.
