I was thinking maybe with a small crochet hook
I could make something with it. Any ideas? Just to keep
it even and flat would have to hard.
Great weather here this week, we could use some rain,
but that will come when nature decides.
Got some chicken in the oven with gravy,
cook it a long time, then have a hot chicken
and gravy Sandwich, and mashed potatoes.
Trying to put some weight on Richard, HE HAS
Lost so much weight with the cancer treatments.
Happy Day to all.

What about some Christmas ornaments? You could make some circles then add a little extra to the top to look like a round ornament. Those could be done in various colors and sizes.
Or maybe some flowers - you could add buttons in the center.

Your sandwiches sound delicious! Praying for you and Richard.

I seen a really cute idea where you crochet tiny flowers and hook them to paper clips. Then they can be used as bookmarks. I know you love to read as well. So you could make beautiful bookmarks for your books.

I was just reading a blog post about making crochet Friendship bracelets with embroidery floss. They looked fun and simple for summer.

Those are super cute Stacey! I think I'm going to have to see what embroidery floss I have tucked away.

Love these ideas for embroidery floss, especially if you got a lot on your hand. Let us know what you decide to do with it all.

Stacey, that’s a super cute bracelet and looks very easy to whip up. I did read that the pattern is only available for free this week. So if anyone wants it they better hurry and get it. I’m going to save it and make one.

I made Everleigh one of those braclets from the link Stacey shared. It was pretty easy to make and fun picking out the colors. I love how it turned out and Everleigh won't take it off.
