Valdani threads ~ check.
Hookinpunch gripper frame ~ double-check.
I have my scissors, ball jar & notebook
at-the-ready…
choosing colors first ~
let me see…..oh 'witch' one?
decisions decisions
colors chosen ~ check
but
now…
what to punch?
...on to that notebook aforementioned.
usually I carry notebooks with me.
in the car, in my purse, next to my bed ~ on the side table by by stitching chair{s}
~ and always always in my workbaskets.
the little notebook below
hold my many muses and inspirational words:
and I open it up to reveal ~
no kidding….. |
with the 'help' of a couple of friends of mine,
I begin listing motifs….
they won't stop talking…blah blah blah |
ok I get the idea!
I will punch them all!!!
weavers now on my Hookinpunch gripper frame ~

Valdani threads dropped into my ball-jar,
punch needle threaded
and…
"Whoooooo"

Happy July 1st everyone!

love your process for a new design. You're so creative
I'm feeling Halloween-ish, too! I've got a black cat wire hanger that needs a piece. To punch or hook??? that is the question!
Please tell about the difference between punch needle and rug hooking. I have no idee,

Too much fun! Just what I needed this afternoon, Lori!!!
Hi Lori!
Love the owl! your colors are great in the bowl, I used Valdani last year and wasn't crazy about it...it was #6, The # 8 is great, I;ve been working on Olde Goat and love #8 Valdani! O course still like DMC 6 strand also...and more affordable.
Notebooks are my brain...can't live without them!
