Hooking...Punching, back and forth...and color ...

Last couple of days, I've just been working on my stuff here and there, back and forth between punching up my new design ( doing up the pattern as I go along ) and pulled a few loops on my rug, but not much....lol Here is the beginning of my new Fraktur style punched piece;

Back

Front in 2 different lightings
A little more progress on my rug :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whilst working on those 2 things, I dug out my old clothes pins and started ,with the floss I'm using right now, to write the color# on the clothes pin and wind the floss on to them...I know, your supposed to use the newer ones with the spring to keep the floss from unwinding, but I like the old ones better .. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Also...I try to keep up with Filing my Doodles and I was getting rid of old magazines...I tear out the pages I like and then file them by Seasons into folders, I do this with my doodles and patterns also, and I print off a colored in doodle , one of the four seasons, and tape over it with clear packing tape ( cheap laminate...lol )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And COLOR !! Remember I said, I find inspiration in all kinds of places ?...well, I noticed this today, and LOVE the colors and the combinations of the colors... The "vibrancy" of the colors aren't my cup of tea, I'd tone down a bit but here they are :

These are the sides of a Kmart Brand Tissue box....We got new boxes of tissues today...I have a different Primitive painted kleenex box cover in all of the rooms, so I just grab boxes of tissues cause they get covered up anyways, no need to match them ( yes I am weird like that...OCD's ....before I got all the covers, I HAD to have each tissue box I bought match the rooms they went into ....so pathetic, huh ??? but funny....lol ) My husband or daughter must've put this one inside the cover in my craft room...When I pulled the empty one out to replace it, I was so excited how pretty the colors were.... but, funny, now I look , and I'm using similar ..not exact, but similar colors and combinations in my 2 projects...Hmmmmm...maybe I remember seeing the box when I put it away into the pantry and it " inspired me subconciously "....lol Well...that's it for tonight... Going to watch some recorded programs with Hubby ... Have a good night, Robin
