Home Stretch ~

Hello Friends & Folk 

….& Hello Friday!

I have two of the designs in my 

Farm Chores series done ~

"Laundry Day" on the left 

& "Keeping the Bees" on the right…

...at the moment I'm almost finished with the 3rd one, 

called "Dipping Candles"

below….

and I already have the design for the 4th,

 called "Shelling Peas" drawn onto weavers and ready to punch…..

BUT

my poor hand is killing me,

{carpal tunnel & arthritis}.

 so I have to switch my gears a bit ~

to give my hand a break,

I'll be….Hooking!

then back to finishing the last punch :)

I am going to finish these into a wall hanging ~ 

...using some fabric I've been hoarding saving.

I think you'll be well-pleased.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh! before I forget…

our 32ct & 30ct Ironstone linen

 is out-of-stock at the moment…

I have the base-linen ordered 

...and am keeping my fingers crossed that it gets here in time 

for me to hand dye & bring with me to the 

PSS RETREAT at the end of this month ~

I will not be a happy camper if it does not get here……..

….{and you want me to be a happy camper…just saying'}
