Summer tyme

As most of you know I work two jobs, and my school nurse job gives me a break in the Summer, so I have projects, projects, projects that I want to do. I have several wool applique, cross stitch and sewing things that I want to do. Plus declutter my house and do some family fun things. I want to show you two of the new candle boxes that I just got. Love, love, love them. I bought 3 battery operated candles from walmart for $3 and used them in the boxes. Aren't these just the cutest.

As I decorate for Summer I put out two of my favorite Americana cross stitch things that I have made.

Finished Project

I really love wool applique. I recently finished a wool applique project that I am quite proud of. It is a large project. The pattern is call, "A Gentle Life" by "Threads that bind". It is huge 7"x36".
I am finding that I am decorating my home with things that I have made, and down sizing some of my primitive collection.

Thinking Spring

On one of my snow days I was able to make a bunny for one of my friends Birthday.

I used a "Chestnut Junction", pattern. I am ready to put all my snowmen away and start

my Spring decorating.

Finished project

I am so thrilled to show you my finished punch needle project. It is called, "Farm Chores", a Notforgotten farm pattern.
 I am not the greatest at punch needle. but find it is getting a little easier with each project.
This project took me a year to complete. And I am one of these persons that always has about 3 projects going at once.
 I hung this on an old feed sack, you can still see the old stains and wear of the feedsack and a
childs broom. Actually my children played with this broom when they were small.
I am so proud and pleased to finally have this project completed. What do you think?

Punchneedle project

I have been working on a series from "Notforgotten Farm", called Farm chores. I just finished number three and have one more to go. I will show you my finished projects in this series.
