~ The Sounds of Thread…. ~

A Dear Friend stopped by the shop today ~

one whom I haven't seen in far-too-long.

a beautiful friend who brings with her happiness and joy & laughter…

was SO good seeing you today Cindy!!

please come by more often…we MISS you!

xo

So I am punching away…really I am ~

but

I'm Spring Cleaning too.

and busy working on other things for the upcoming shows.

meanwhile

I wanted to show you the progress of the last punching I was working on…

{I am finished with it now, but here are the 'in-progress' snaps}:

as you can see below,

I have begun filling my background in with DMC 310 {black, all 6 strands}

… a closer look…

Adhering to my original plan of punching this background referring to an antique rug as inspiration ~

I continue working my thread-magic and am now 'filling-in' with DMC 3021….

as I punch, 

I like to listen to my thread & punch needle…they talk to me!!

"click pop click pop click pop"

means I'm doing it correctly

{those that have taken previous classes from me understand}

LOL!!!

happily punching the remainder of this background….

… coming along nicely, almost finished with the background…

love the 

'old' look it has already ~

spring-greens have sprouted…
altho they are weeds, their happy green leaves
& small purple flowers are most welcome in my little world

I WELCOME QUESTIONS, I WELCOME BEGINNERS, 

and I WELCOME each & every one of you to begin a wonderful adventure into

Punch Needle ~

I endorse all forms of needlework, 

because I want to see it kept alive.

and ~ because I want to see it taught some-what correctly & basically to beginners,

without beginners having to spend lots of $$ on a craft they may or may not love.

yeah, I'm rambling….

but can you tell that I'm at least enthused for you?
