I've been busy thinking, creating and drawing away and getting these 2 booklets ready for the Holiday Season. One is a Merrie Christmas booklet, with Snowmen and Santa's, the other celebrates the " Blessed" Christmas Season, with mostly angels and a sampler. They both have 6 designs, one is the uncolored cover and 5 more designs to have fun with, for punch needle, stitchery, rug hooking or wool applique.

Spending a few days at my daughter's house...

I am enjoying my little stay with my daughter and hubby and of course baby Keegan....not that I'm bored, but just had to bring some floss, my hoops and needle punch...oh, and wool also,,, here is what I played with..I don't have good lighting and no good surface, so don't laugh at how crooked the applique pieces are on the little runner....

I love staying here, ...this what I get to see everyday !! He is my precious little angel baby boy....lol...And what a personality to boot...He has started mimicking sounds and words"ba ba"...and he has found his feet....He makes me just laugh and smile so much my face hurts....lol

Quick post...look at this pillow...

A nice lady ,Julie(nokerson2ase)sent me the link to her auction ....What a sweet pillow she made using my Jack and Cat freebie design.... I love it !!
Hope you are all having a great week !!

Finished another punch needle piece....

Hello...wow....Cold, rainy weekend here...LOVE IT ! I know some may think I'm weird, but I love this weather, and it made me feel like punchin away..It's very relaxing and hoping I'll get better with experience.I'm not sure how I'm going to finish it, but I have a few bread boards I could use...or frame it ?? Now that I'm thinking about it, I have a large hanging wall basket I could use glue dots to tempoarily attach it for the Fall/ Thanksgiving Season....



I thought I'd share the pics of my poor little dead bush recycled into my Fall Tree with the little wax ornaments i bought and the larger ones I made....I still have to put my Fall decorations up, and I figured tomorrow would be a good time....
Have fun and do something Fall-ish...lol

Finishd my Needle Punch......

I actually got my needle punch done, through terrible head cold and sinus infection...only bits of sleep and half of the time doing it half asleep....lol
It's not perfect by any means...I couldn't find my weaver's cloth, so I just grabbed a piece of muslin...big mistake !! All of you who do needle punch need no explanation....But, the weave of the muslin is different, and when I would get to certain spots, when I punched through the fabric it almost started to rip...the threads in the weave came apart and left huge spaces and the the loop of floss wouldn't stay in...Huge lesson learned...
Going to do another piece, smaller and simpler.....just to keep the practicing going...I'll get better , I will....lol

Lots of stuff...long post...some good some not so good..

Well, I had a busy weekend doing alot of little projects, and it felt so good to check things off my list of things I wanted to get done.
Here is a little shrub that sadly, died this summer..It wasn't lack of water, but just the opposite, there was a lot of run off and our soil is like clay, so the roots sat in too much water. I pulled it and let it sit in the sun behind our little shed and voila ! It now has another purpose..God bless the little thang....lol
So hubby cut a little piece of wood for a base, I painted and sanded it. I did a little "pruning", probably could have done more...??I need to adjust the lights on it,I was in a hurry to get a pic....lol . I also made some blak and spicy wax pumpkin ornies. I bought a bag of these cute little ones on Etsy and then thought heck wonder if I could make my own ? I found a wilton silicone cupcake pan and bought some super cheap black votive candles. I sprayed the silicone pan with Pam spray sprinkled in some cinnamon. I melted the wax in an old tea kettle and only filled the spaces about 1/3 of the way. They popped right out, and I rolled them in cinnamon and cloves...I took a large needle and heated it up every time and made the holes for the wire, which I need to hunt down....lol..Can't remember where I put it I have so many little craft containers...geesh...
Then...I started a punch needle from my Freebie design...it feels good to do up some of my doodles...I don't do it alot, lack of patience...lol


And now...I don't do this as often as I should..I get so busy and caught up with other things, but i need to give these ladies credit and tell them how much I appreciate their talent, and words of encouragement about my designs.
This first punch needle is by Karen of "pinesandneedles" on Ebay


Secondly we have a punch needle piece by Rebecca "goodwool"


And lastly but certainly not least a punch needle by Doris "luv2punch"


If you likey then hurry and go bid on these beauties !
And now it brings me to the not so good news..I could use prayers...I went to day for a sonogram of my thyroid. I have had problems with hypo(low) thyroid and take medication. Past few months I have been feeling worse and worse..Too many symptoms to name. Now, remember I am a nurse, and so my distaste for doctors and hospitals and medicine, is boundless....lol..I would never have gone to my family doctor had it not been for the fact that the pain and fatigue and other symptoms are sometimes debilitating. During a routine physical exam, which included palpating my thyroid, it was noticably larger and hard on the left side. So the sonogram and bloodwork ( 4 vials full,,,,lol) were ordered. I'm praying it is just enlarged due to not working to capability and maybe I'll just need to up the dose of Synthroid...
So...There you have it...Probably the LONGEST post I've ever made....lol
Love to you all !!!
Robin
