Punching Donkeys ~

Yes.

I am punching donkeys…

and sheep, cats, peacocks…

No.

...not literally, physically punching them ~

I would never hurt them or inflict any pain intentionally on any of my friends…

but

I am figuratively punching them.

with thread!

right now, this handsome fellow graces my frame:

h e l l o

 he will be finished today, 

...then I will start punching more.

frame cover was made by my sister Sharon from a design by Ronda Tedder ~

 I love to punch

(hook, stitch, repeat…)

I am all over the place ~ but loving it!

holly leaves & mistletoe

 my "nest" is where you'll find me today ~

punching...

and

listening to classical music on the public radio station, 

and the tympani accompaniment from the rain on our tin-roof…

cozy

With my chair being situated near a south-facing window,

I get great light even on a dull day ~

{{my Ott lamp lends a hand too.}}

here's how I store my floss for punching:

it's actually a storage box for photographs ~

found in the scrapbooking aisle of Michaels Craft store

(and of course purchased with my 50%-off coupon!)

it comes with all of the little boxes inside, 

~ which are thee perfect size to hold my DMC skeins ~

i used a black sharpie to write the floss colors by hue on the separate boxes ~
blues, greens, yellows, etc….oh yeah, and "stuff" too ;)

I try to be neat

{really I do}

but

when in the throes of a punching-frenzy ~

there is simply 

no such thing as tidiness….

a jumble of greens

... the lid closes tightly and has a handle so it travels well too.

ready to go?

nope, we're not traveling today ~

work work work.

the From our Hands and Hearts show will be here before we know it ~ 

I want to make sure I have lots of good & needful things to offer my friends who will visit the show.

Hoping you all have a wonderful day filled with peace and creativity ~
