Such a good friend and AWSOME Gift !!!

Well, most of you know that my bestest buddy in the world,Robby lives half a world away from me. But it's funny that the miles that separate us in the physical, mean nothing in the realm of the emotional, spiritual and relationship level. We are truly "kindred spirits" and I couldn't ask for a more perfect friend, for lack of a better word. We tease about being twins, and though it takes only nano-seconds to see that physically we are far from looking alike, we really are so much alike in so many other areas...Alas, we are separated by the "big pond", but are as close as any two friends can be. She spoiled me with a Christmas gift that just arrived today. Oh Robby sent it out early enough, but with the Holidays and the USPS being what it is, it came just a few days late for Christmas, but will stay out with the decorations till at least the Monday after New Year's Day. It is a super duper prim pattern by Pineberry Lane Primitives called Santa & Elmer. Isn't he and his little reindeer just the most wonderful prim goodness ??
Thank you Robby ! I love him to bits ! Oh, and the milky bars and lights also...You are too good to me !!

Christmas 2009 decorating...wow, I am slack !!

Apology for being gone so long and Christmas Freebie Doodle !

I can't believe I've been gone all these weeks...So much going on and a nice visit with my buddy Robby from Scotland...She was the photographer for the wedding and did a stellar job !!
Here is a little Snowman Freebie Doodle and graphic for you to stitch, punch, hook or wool applique,,,Enjoy !

Just a few pics of Fall Decorating....

I hobbled on my bum knee back and forth just to do this little bit today...It rained hard all day, so maybe if it's nice tomorrow I'll do a little outside decorating....
I'm going for Physical Therapy for my knee...and it's improving .....

I know I will never forget !!!

And a special Thank you to all the friends, allies, that willingly and selflessly have given of themselves, their dedication and service in a United effort with the United States, to prevent something like this from ever happening again. whether on our soil or theirs !

Some new Fall Goodies I'm piling up...

I'm gearing up for the first day of school here,(Sept.1 ) which is typically when I at least start looking through my Fall decorations, and start placing things here and there....I have acquired a few things making doubles of certain items and just playing around...So..get busy, Fall is almost upon us...but we need to enjoy it as much as we can...savor every moment,,,,,have fun ! Fall Fun !!!

Sharing...my first 2 attempts at punch needle...

I meant to share this awhile ago...I had gone to a quiltshop and bought my FIRST punch needle pattern ( with 2 designs ) from " Stone & Thread " ...Well...my first one turned out better than the second try...so the first one went to Robby my buddy from Scotland.
So ..first one, the tree and moon was sent to Robby and I have the second one hanging on a little wire tree....

*Update* New Pattern Available Look only if you like more extreme primitive

Ok first a story...Two years ago I was making this dolls head, and my older daughter , Ashley BEGGED me to do a doll with freckles ( like her)....Well the doll was allready looking more extreme prim but when I added freckles, I decided to keep her more "ugly" to be funny...Ashley thought it was cute , but I never made a body or anything..this headless doll floated around my craft room for 2 years now...
So...yesterday, I decided to finish her up and keep her "ugly" unlike my daughter Ashley ( she really is a pretty thing)...lol
AND...I started making up the pattern for her also...
Sooooo...what do you think? go with the pattern???... or No..she is too ugly ???What ?

Punch Needle Doodle .....

I've just tried punch needle a few weeks ago and have to admit, it does take some concentration...I don't have alot of patience either so it is a bit of a struggle for me...I wanted to finish up this design I created , using a background, but I was running out of floss and my local WalMart doesn't sell it anymore, so I would need to make a special trip to JoAnns and just didn't have time, so I did it without filling in the background...
Have fun !
