she took my simple doodle

and made it her own

with some design tweaking and the colors...

WOW

Oh Pierre

ooh la la

my friend Doris

punched up this latest doodle of mine

and he's looking sweet...

she has him for offer on ebay

right now

in the right hand column...

Thanks Doris

for making my doodles

looks soooo good!

Feed the Birds

too bad my photography skills are so bad!

this is the favorite of all my pn pieces...

very subtle and drab colors in person

it's on ebay now

and I'm hoping some loves it as much as I do...

So glad to hear from everyone how much

you are enjoying the antique rugs...

I'll be taking a break from the for a few weeks

but have many more to share

the one on the header is a favorite

and will stay for a while

Hope you're enjoying your days

it's chilly and windy in NE, Ohio today

the birds are enjoying the feeder

in my back yard

Frosty Boy Freebie Pattern

this punch needle piece will be listed

on ebay later today

size is 7 1/2" x 6 1/4"

this is how I sign in stitches

am glad my nickname is short

the freebie pattern for you...

it's my original rough draft

from a few years ago

given to my friends in our ebay group...

as you can see

I never follow a pattern exactly

Enjoy!

Blogger Issues...

I have a photo of my latest punchneedle

project ready to share...

but blogger is giving me fits...

Will try again tomorrow

after the piece is

completed and at auction on eBay...

a snowman with his tree

Melrose and Olivia want me to get this recipe!

~~~~~
As for the antique rugs
most of the images are of rugs
I've found recently...
I don't keep track of
who
what
where
when
or size...
for me it's all about the eye candy

More Punching

this will be my last punch for a while

I just had to use the floss

from Doris

the colors aren't showing up too good

with my photography

not nearly as bright in real life...

Olivia is a sun worshipper

she follows it from

window to window

the glare is for me

poking her tail with my foot

Melrose is on the alert

for attacks by Olivia

he is nearly always leaning

on the footstool

when I'm using it

I see I'm getting close to

500 posts

must be time for a giveaway soon!!!

Punching Away

No matter what color

I love pumpkins

the latest punched piece

is an experiment

in neutral

or almost neutral

it's heading to eBay tomorrow

I'm trying to get away from

punching for a while...

too many other projects

to finish

my friend Doris

sent a great bundle of floss

for me to enjoy

some as-is skeins

plus some of her hand dyed

looks like I can't resist one more

punched piece

before hiding the needles...

the hand dyed oranges

are too yummy to resist

Two Not So Bad Cats

" someone" knocked my latest punch needle piece

to the floor and is trying to eat the floss

Olivia thinking of maybe

sleeping in the comfy chair...

but Melrose is close by

so she'll just ignore him instead



he's just watching the birds fly by


Thanks for your recent comments on my new designs!
so maybe a cats only booklet
is in the works
~10 designs
cats, pumpkins, sunflowers
all my favorite things

Cats and More Cats

This is why I've been absent lately...

punching and more punching

works in progress

they need trimming

staining and finishing

***

I'm not sure if there will be

any more design booklets from me

I feel as if everything I create is the same old thing...

oh how they love the bird feeder

right outside the window

two minutes after this I let them

out in to the garage

where Olivia promptly caught a tiny mouse

Better After

I'm liking the Thankful redo...
changed the flower petals and stems
left out the word
see...
I can't even leave my own
designs alone
~~~
the punching is done
now to stain and finish
to sell on eBay
~~~
I'd love to see how you
use the pattern

Thankful Freebie

This pattern is from my Early Harvest booklet

in 2007 (?)

all the booklets have been retired

I have never been happy with this pattern

it needs some tweaking

So I've drawn it up to punch

and will share the new

improved version in progress soon

You are free to use the design as is

or wait to see how I change it

then use the changes as your inspiration

All I ask is that you give me credit

for the design

Ginger Cat

one of the sweetest cats ever in my life

was Tigger...a big fluffy ginger

he loved roaming around outside

almost as much as he did

leftover milk from your cereal bowl

his ruff would get so big in the winter

he looked like a lion

this is one of those designs I drew

directly on the backing

it's a one of a kind

that will make it's way to eBay

The Catnip rug pattern is available

in it's original form by

Lynda Hall

in her book

A Little Porch Time

~~~

my rug has an extra sunflower

different bird and cat

is a different size

another one of a kind
