Visit to the Amish Country

My best friend Shelia and I made our Spring trip to Lancaster Pa. last week, we were able to spend two nights. We had the most enjoyable time. We always enjoy riding in the country and looking at
the amish farmland. We went to probably 5 amish greenhouses, everything was so lush and beautiful.
 We also hit several primitive shops. It was such a relaxing and fun trip. I will show some of my purchases. Sorry I didn't get any amish photo's except one. It is hard to get pictures of them especially
since the amish don't want you to take their pictures.  I go there at least twice every year and I never
get tired of it there.

New Punch Needle project

Sorry I am been MIA for awhile I just haven't been myself since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I used to be like the energizer bunny, but now some days it is all I  can do to
make it at work and do what I have to do.
 I am still trusting that it will all work out and know that it will.
 I wanted to show my last needle punch project. Jean of Prim Crafts made me a kit for my
Birthday, she gave me the wool, weavers cloth, backing fabric and pattern. It is a cute
pattern by Teresa's Primitive Treasures. It was a fun pattern, love how it turned out.
The wool is from an old army blanket.




I also want to show a make do doll that I have made, inspired by a Primitive Lane pattern.
