My favorite in this issue are the tatted heart earrings that could double as shamrocks. Also to tat: a tablecloth, and a heart insert for a blouse. to knit is a child's jacket. to crochet are baby booties, potholders, hot mat, doily, buffet runner, luncheon set and chair set. The plant section covers starting violets, how to grow a water lily on your back porch, and more. There is a cool article on Ming trees. Recipes include cherry pudding and a cherry nut cake. There is a detailed as article on how to do Batik printing. There is also a great article on St. Valentine's Day and its customs. I hope I can find the book, "Jewelry Making with Wire". They claim all you can make jewelry with an eggbeater and a screwdriver.
