~ Punching in the Rain ~

Oh where is that beautiful warm May sunshine?

why has it been hiding from us for so long…

I am a lover of rain, rainy days & the coziness it brings

~ but this has been a crazy couple of weeks!

oh well, 

the sun'll come out tomorrow…

in the meantime…

my needle punching mimics the sound of the raindrops on our old farmhouse tin roof.

plop plop plop

punch punch punch

Working on 'Ralph' has been fun ~

my little patriotic dog-friend is coming to life

loop by loop.

Peter & I are putting together more video tutorials of my punch needle techniques

for our Youtube Channel: 

notforgottenfarm

I'll be posting them to our channel soon, 

hopefully by the weekend ~

this design, {'Ralph'}

 will be getting a different finish on the edges 

that I think you'll all enjoy learning how to do.

here is the back of my work in progress…

so you can see I'm not a neat-freak.

I clip my ends as I go, but if there are a few stragglers then so be it.

the background is nearly complete now

and shouldn't take me much longer to finish today :)

the pattern for Ralph will be available soon ~

well, I think I'll have another cup of tea 

~ and go dance for a bit in the raindrops!
