Another Punched Finish ~

Good Sunday Morning Friends & Folk!

...here is the punched finish of

'Honey Girl'

I really like how this turned out ~

perfect colors!

I chose a charcoal/grey for the background for this design…

black would have been too dark and would wash-out the colors:

needle down!

 I punched the stripes on her skirt at various heights.

nice dimensional effect I think ~

feeling loopy

I did the same for the 'ground' under the flowerpot….

and I made a little french knot for her eye ~

...after punching,

I went back in & embroidered a tiny smile on her face :)

happy floating honey-girl

this is a good size design,

measuring in at approx. 6" x 7 1/4"

not sure how I will 'finish' this one, 

I'm always thinking of unconventional ways to use my finished designs

but I'll be sure to share it with you!

I am now punching

'Spring Cleaning'

that little broom apron I told you about…

stained and ready for the final finish

needle punching makes me happy ~ it's by far my mist favorite form of needlework to do.

and finishing a punched project makes me even happier 

especially when I see my results come to life on my frame...

Speaking of happiness ~

I 'caught' Iggy rolling in the sunshine yesterday morning…

goofball

oh, hey Ig ~

didn't mean to disturb you…

'wha…?'

 back to rolling & soaking up the rays ~

get it while you can Igmeister...

for today we are expecting 6" - 8" of 

S N O W

'Mom…did you say the "S" word?'
...wow, he's giving me 'that' look…

Have a beautiful Sunday my Friends~

* Blessed be *
