~ Punching Pumpkin Folk & Exciting News ~

* Good Morning Friends & Folk *

'tis the last day of August 2016 ~ So yeah… buh-bye now!

{{ I'm sure by now you all know how I feel about this miserable heat! }}

so while I'm cooped up in the farmhouse breathing artificial air and using unnatural lighting because I have to block out the hot sun, I'm busily stitching away on finished goods that will be offered at our

8th annual Gathering of Primitive Friends Show on Saturday September 17th…

{holy moly it is less than 3 weeks away now!}

here are a couple of punched dolls that I've finished…

they crack me up.

this little kitten-witch looks like she is standing guard over her pumpkin-folk friend…

perhaps she's making sure no one chooses him for a pie?

and this little pumpkin-witch is all ready for some serious trick or treating 

… with her black cat goodie-bag ~

these are a new design for me, as they are stuffed but freestanding ~

I LOVE how they look on my shelves!

I'll be making more of these for our show, and for the upcoming

From our Hands & Hearts show in November ~

think i need to fill up ALL of my shelves with these folks!

and 

I was recently contacted by the publisher of a brand new magazine 

that will be coming out in early 2017 ~ 

just to say I am humbled to be asked to submit a project for the premier issue of

"Wool Works"™ Magazine

well, I'd better get busy around here, 

~ there are a few more punched-folk that are vying for my attention!

Wishing for you a beautiful end-of-August day my sweet friends ~
