{ Punch-Drunk }


Happy Monday Folks!
I've been in my studio all day ~
watching movies on DVD
( The Orphanage, Practical Magic, City Slickers!...)
ok, not watching entirely,
but listening intently and glancing sideways at the screen
while I Needle Punch away...


I'm working diligently on the new pattern models that I'll be releasing at the
VA Rug Fest
this Saturday...
I guess you can't really tell what the finish will look like,
but here's a hint:
think
YELLOW - WARE
I'll be showing you more progress-pictures as the show gets closer,
but not of the finished models yet!
nope...you'll just have to wait until next week to see them!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was blustery...
...a typical March day...
sunny/cloudy, windy/calm, warm, yet chilly...

The birds outside are twitterpating and feverishly looking for nesting materials...
please don't forget to share your wool and thread scraps with our little
Feathered Friends ~
... they will truly appreciate your kindness towards them
by rewarding you with hours of
birdsong & delight!!!
Blessings from the Farm,
Lori

I've been putting out thread pieces of thread for a week. I have carolina wren and mockingbird love going on in my yard!! I think the titmouses are fooling around, too.
Isn't it wonderful to see everything coming to life again!!?

Lori, Thanks for the idea of putting my ends of threads out for the birds. It was rainy and windy here today. I will put them outside tomorrow. That way the little birds can find them and they will not be wet... lol

We're just a bit behind you in Michigan but I have my thread saved for the nest building. I would love to find a nest one day that had some of my embroidery floss in it. Love a movie and stitching day - especially Practical Magic - I would about Kill for that house and garden - oh, and the big hat that Stockard Channing wears- Love, love, love the hat!
Looking forward to seeing your punchneedle.

Hi Lori! That needle punch is looking great! Love the colors. Thanks for the tip about throwing thread scraps out for the birds. All this time, I've been putting them in the garbage, but that's about to change completely! Have a lovely day!
