This is the book I have been working out of. I am slowly making my way through every bookmark, which has been fun. I've never made every single pattern in a book before!

Pond Friends Stacking Toy
I made this stacking toy for a friend of ours, who had a baby not too long ago. The pattern was free at Lion Brand, which has a lot of great patterns, besides having some nice yarn. It doesn't take very much yarn to make, so I just used whatever yarn I could find in my stash.
This little guy is supposed to be a frog, but my grandson Josiah calls it a snake, which fits with the "pond" theme, so I'll just let it go at that.
The base should have been blue, with green lily pads, but I did it wrong and didn't want to do it over. So it's a green pond with blue and pink lily pads.
This is a lady bug. I think I like they way this one came out the best.

Baking Bread
So today I got the urge to bake some bread. I used to bake a lot when the kids were little, but after we moved to Florida and I started working full time, it kind of fell by the wayside. There is something very satisfying about baking bread. I love kneading the dough, watching it rise, smelling the baking bread smell and, especially eating it. Toasted, with butter. mmmmmm.....
My trusty bread recipe book. I've had this book for at least 25 years.
This is "the recipe." When I used to bake a lot, I would make 4 loaves at a time.
The dough...all kneaded and smooth, set to rise in a warm place.
