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.

Prayers for little James

One of my friends Trish, a former blogger has a nephew that needs our prayers.
 A few weeks ago her little nephew was missing,
and was found unconscious in a water hole. At first there wasn't much hope. James was put on
life support and the Dr. told the parents to prepare for the worst.
 So many people are praying and little James is a miracle, he is finally breathing on his own,
but will have a long recovery. I am adding a link to keep you updated on James.
Please keep him in your prayers for a full recovery. Also the family needs money for all of the hospital expenses I have a link that will connect to that site if you feel like you would like to donate.
 I appreciate your prayers and concern for this precious little boy.

Some new creations and March Christmas Gift

I haven't been blogging for at least two weeks, I have had computer issues and finally bought a new computer. I don't like change so I am struggling with learning how to download photos and do different things on this computer. I also lost some of my patterns and pictures, so that is upsetting.
  I finished the punch needle project that sweet Sandy, "The Primitive Hutch" sent me.
I love this snowgirl. I am thinking of putting this project on an old cutting board, so I am on the
lookout for a cutting board.
 I also finished another punch needle project and a "Little House on the Prairie" sampler.
 I also wanted to share the March Christmas gift from my grandchildren Cole and Riley.

Wonderful Surprise in the mail

Today I received the most wonderful surprise in the mail. Robin, "The Primitive Hutch"

sent me a package. I thought now what could it be. Well to my surprise it is a needle punch pattern

and weavers cloth to go with it. I almost cried. I am new to needle punch and if any of you are

familiar with it, it can be very expensive, especially the patterns.  I have only bought one pattern.

Robin and I have talked back and forth about patterns and she told me to check out " Country Stitches"

patterns. I especially loved a snowgirl pattern and even told Robin that, well what did she go

and do but send me the pattern with the weavers cloth.

How sweet and kind of Robin. It has really touched my heart, blogger friends are the best.

If you don't know Robin stop by her blog, she makes the most wonderful prims, I am lucky to own

some of her creations. Thank you again Robin, your kindness really touched my heart. You are a special friend.
