Every time I see a four seasons design with a small motif for each season, I automatically think 'luggage tag'. The recent SAL on the San-Man board for the Four Seasons Fatties was no exception. I stitched two motifs on each side and omitted the original border. I'll hold onto this one to use as a gift later on.
I couldn't resist trying out this cute thread crochet corner bookmark. It's such a cool design. You might think you would make two identical triangles and then crochet or stitch them together. But this is worked in the round, all in one piece. So only the beginning and ending threads need to be worked in. And the instructions were super-clear. That's not always the case with crochet instructions, freebies or purchased. This turned out so well that I think I'll make more in other colors. Another good little gift idea. You can find the instructions here.
Here's my super-find of the weekend. For $.99 at the grocery store, the cutest pair of socklets I've seen in a while. I just couldn't resist! I mean, really... pink ladybugs? They were calling my name!

Helga Mandl (I know I've spelled her name wrong) had a 4-season series out a couple of years ago as part of a group ... but maybe she's released it seperately now. They were very cute designs, too. Love the idea for luggage tags, and that crocheted bookmark is GREAT!

As usual it's an eye candy, lovely luggage tag Annie.
Seems we have a lot in common, I also collect funky socks. No wonder those ladybugs were screaming your name ;-)
The Fatties are adorable as a luggage tag, Annie! Well done!
I do wish I had continued to practise when I first learnt to crochet. You make the prettiest things, Annie.
Love those hot pink sockettes!
I have been seeing those luggage tags on just about everyone's blogs, and I can't contain myself any longer - what are they for? There doesn't seem to be anywhere for a name and address - are they just ornamental?
What a cute way to finish this! Great job.
Aww those luggage tags are just way to cute!!
Pretty bookmark and great socks.
The luggage tag is so cute and such a clever idea, and your crocheted bookmark is so elegant! You have so much fun with your projects, don't you? Enjoy those cute new socks!
That is the cutest luggage tag. You certainly would be able to find your luggage in all the sea of black suitcases. Love the crocheted bookmark too - I had to bookmark the site. So cute.
