    Just a few ideas I use.

    I love making things I can get done is a week or less, I work as a cashier in Wal-Mart and Im always making pins for the other cashiers to wear and I make for other employees too, I use ideas for many different things to make into pins for holidays. I also make heart not holders with a little pocket in to hold a little notebook and pen with a hanger crocheted chain.,I make crochet crosses originally a bookmark I make a tassel long enough so it can be hung in cars, I have given away about 1,000 of these in thread in different colors over several years,I give them away to all who want and need them,never except money for a cross, I make little stuffed toys ,airplanes,cars and pickup trucks,Im make outfits for teddybears I get at thrift shops and given to me to give away to kids,I crochet in thread and yarn, One thing I make which is simple but loved by all is family names done in thread I make up my own grafts,small names get a design on each side hearts crosses,birds,etc, I make them starch them and block out the people who receive the name can frame it asn they like. THe stitch is simple dc,and so easy to make I can do one in about 2 days.I have made first names as well for kids rooms.,potholders are another favorite ,I make potholders to give with homemade goodies ,I also make cookie cottages from large coffee cans ,I have many pictures of my projects if anyone is interested onmy facebook page peggy Failing , I fill the cookie cottages with homemade cookies.makes great gifts at Christmas.I have hundreds of patterns for potholders,as I was on a potholder kick once,LOLalmost any pattern cam be made into a potholder.Hair scrunchies are a big thing to I make them in school colors kids love these, I also make reversible afghans ,and hats in school colors making the afghan into a poillow ghan to take to school outings.Team football outfits for teddybears in team colors a big hit too.I use pictures of team outfits and using my own design I make it for teddybears,I love to make up my own designs ,but these are a few of my greatest hits. hugs good luck Peggy in Pa.

    Hi Butterflyrose,
    You could do a sc chainless foundation chain and then chain 2 and do a hdc across rowand then ch.2 and the next row - dc across and ch. 2 and keep alternating a hdc row and a dc row and ch. 2 at the end of every row.

    Hi Ruth,

    Thank you for your generous offer. The items that you send will certainly enhance the bazaar. ~Butterflyrose~
