~ Multi-Tasking ~

Happy Friday 

~ Friends & Folk ~ 

ಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊಊ

so here I am, working on multiple projects at once, 

...again. 

I have to give my hands a break from doing one form of needlework for a long period of time,

and lately that has been punch needle ~ 

you've seen my Claudia Cluck doll, 

and know I'm working on her friend Roberta...

but my hands hurt so badly sometimes ~ that all I can manage to do is slow stitching.

 

my work varies greatly within the mediums of my needles...

punch-work is fun, quick and offers lots of room for whimsical-ness.

Where embroidery gives me more freedom to use thread colors and stitches ~

 

so many tiny little loops!

 

so many tiny little stitches!!

 

...while Roberta is resting,

my tiny kitten is coming to life.

 

I've finished filling her in,

detailed her eyes, nose & mouth ~

and added more depth to her silk ribbon bow...

 

now I've begun stitching a 'ground' of sorts upon where she sits.

those blue spots will disappear with a spritz of water

{ALWAYS use color-fast threads!!}

and those pencil-lines will be covered with my stitches.

I have a small antique black oval tin frame that she will live in once finished ~ 

but she still needs a name...any suggestions?
