Good Morning!
here is that little punched whisk broom apron all punched and embellished ~

| "Spring Cleaning" © Notforgotten Farm |
I think it is sweet as can be ~
you can see I added a tiny apron to our busy little worker-girl there,
as well as a couple of minuscule pearl baby buttons on her dress front…
 |
| close up of punched & embellished finish |
adding detail to my work keeps things from getting stale.
~ I like it.
I did this background in a pale blue/grey-ish green…it looks like a nice sunny day for her!
 |
| frayed cupboard-cloth (osnaburg) apron |
I was only going to offer three new punched designs,
~ but my needle is smoking' so I may just offer a couple more!
….stay tuned!!
It is snowing here at the farm today ~
a beautiful light end-of-winter snowfall….
~ here's how it looks out my sewing room window:
 |
| peaceful and quiet |
 |
| silhouettes |
and here's what's happening at the backyard feeder ~
juncoes, mourning doves, titmice ~
cardinal-couples, wrens and sparrows….
 |
| fill 'er up! |
 |
| snow day |
 |
| friends |
 |

 |
| come & get it! |
Hoping you are enjoying your weather, whatever it is!
* Blessed be *

Glad your needle is "smokin"!Who knows what new and wonderful designs will be created this week! Just watched your video on the punching frame, makes punching look easy-breezy, you are adorable. I plan to order a frame soon.
