Crosses, Scrunchies, Bookmarks and Banners!

This is, obviously, my first post as a contributor to the Challenge Page. Please bear with me! Funny I should mention bear, as that's what putting this together is. I have more respect for Sharon than I would ever have imagined. Thank you so much Sharon for all that you have done keeping this challenge alive! If I have left anyone out, mislabeled anything, or misnumbered anything, please correct me kindly and then forgive me. I'll do better next time!

Tara is celebrating Wonder Wednesday. Here is a picture of her handsome little man. This is a great post to enlighten us on the subject of Autism. Please read!


Nita tatted these lovely bookmarks from Nancy Tracy's design. The tan and ecru is #20 DMC cordonnet. The purple one is Yarnplayer's HDT. Who wouldn't be proud to mark their place with one of these? These are #14 for Nita.


Ais has received the last of three packages from Dave. Look at the lovely custom ordered items. Lucky girl!





Bonnie has revisited a favorite cross pattern by Julie Patterson named Hearts and Flower Cross Bookmark and tatted it with Yarnplayer's Lola. It is for her friend Nicole who is having surgery this Friday. I know she will love it. Tami shares a banner with us that is made for families of servicemen in harm's way. This is a very inspirational post to read. Thank you so much to all of the families who are missing their loved ones.


Wendy shares some good pattern links with us today. Thank you Wendy!

Maria finished her first 25 motifs in March 2007, but she has decided to start again. Here is her first entry a pin in cro-tatting that she designed by herself.
