this bookmark will make a sweet present to someone you love, or even for yourself!
i love to sew by hand, and it's a diversion every time i feel burned out, frustrated or nervous. something about the slow pace of hand sewing that i find comforting, bringing me a sense of peace and calm. i've made lots of these bookmarks already, and most i've sent for friends' bedside books.

you are so creative! i wish i am half as creative as you are! where do you get these ideas? this is so - LOVELY! i love gross grain! i can't find here a gross grain with stitch at the middle just like the one you have in the picture or with stitches at both sides. sigh! been looking for a brown with pink stitch or pink with brown stitch for a dress that i'm whipping up for the little one. :(
