Happy Monday Friends & Folk!

Yesterday I needed a day to just relax & not 'think'….

so I color planned & hooked this! 

~ haha ~

{seriously, to me that is relaxing & not-thinking}

remember my new little punched project: Bee Witched?

yep! that is who this is, just in a larger format & adapted for rug hooking ~

can you see her eyes?

I've added big, brown blown-glass eyes so she can see better…

I am loving my short little duck-billed scissors, a recent purchase from Joann's :)

the beautiful black & silver witch's hat fob was made by sweet friend Victoria Gable

{StitchnButton on FB}

hooking progress shows the tall & wonky beeskep's outline…

and a swirl-y busy bee!

standing wool strips make a great bee!

it's a larger {for me} sized rug…

approx. ~ 17" x 22"

I have been obsessed with bees lately!

I've been so worried about the honeybees out there in this unusually cold weather ~

I hope they're all ok

 :(

I'll share more progress photos later this aft on my FB page :)

~ AND ~ speaking of Bees…

here is the April/May/June 2016

Thank You my friend!!!!!

I have to say, that this may be one of my favorite designs…

it is primitive, yet classic ~ useful and decorative too!

the colors are mellow but striking and blend together in a way that pleases my eye….

Professionally printed Chart/Graph

Easy to follow Finishing Instructions

Vintage Wool for backing {a beautiful brown windowpane plaid}
