Finished Class Model & Polka Dot Galoshes....

Happy Monday!!!
here is the finished class project
...for this Saturday's Punch Needle Class ~
 

 
Blue Tulip Pinkeep


I added the ribbon to hang it from and love the look of it on the edge.
 
 
 

love that green.   and that blue.   together.


it's not large, only measures approx. 3" x 3 1/2" ~
small enough to finish during the class....
(oh yes you can.)
 
I have a couple of seats left for the class
... if you'd like to sign-up,
you can email me at not4got@aol.com
and you can see class info on my 'classes' link at the top of this blog.

hurry Spring ~
 
if you have your own punch needle and frame/hoop, then your class fee will be less
(read class description on classes page)
Come on out & have FUN with us :)
 
 
 ~AND~
I received a package in the mail today from my sister Louisea in CT ~
she sent me these AWESOME polka dot galoshes as a 50th birthday gift!!!!

I love them.
 
 
are you ready for April Showers?
I am now!!!
 
oh yes, I am stylin' in these ankle-high beauties...
they are perfect Lou ~ you nailed me!
THANK YOU!
 
 
 
rain rain go-away...
...polka dots brighten my day!
 
yes, it's true.
I will turn 50 on February 28th.
I have no idea how that has happened ~ my friends & family know that I never consider age at all.
why bother? it is truly just a number that we use to keep track of years.
we are who we are because of our experiences in life, not our age.
Our souls are ageless... I still feel like I'm 18 and I know you all can relate.
 
I may 'mature', but I will never grow up!
 
Hoping the start of your week is a good one ~

Hi lori!

You have made my day with the spring welcome of polka dot rain boots and the beautiful spring tulip pin keep!
wish I lived close enough for your classes!

I agree we are eternal and no need to worry about a number. I'm almost 74 and still feel like I did at 18 in my heart...the old body may feel a bit different...Ha Ha!

Happy Birthday!

Oh Lori, happy birthday, but you're a youngster compared to me.

Pinkeep is beautiful and the ribbon gives it pizzaz. Cool polka dot boots, wearing those would brighten up any day.

I too love those colors together. I wish I lived closer...I would come to your class as I know nothing about punch needle and wool!!! Boots are great...they will keep your feet so dry. And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You are right...I turn 60 in April and I still feel young (except when I have to get up off the floor). Sandi Durkee

Turning 50 and being in good health is the double celebration of having made it through half a century in good shape.

Celebrate and savor it!
