I Love The Weather We Are Having...

All I can say is WOW....We are having great spring weather....Beautiful blue skies  warm temperatures not a bit of rain...We even ate outside on Mother's day, it is usual a bit cold for me to eat outside this early in the year...I have to say my day couldn't have been better...I hope yours was the same...I have been spending most of my time outside digging in the dirt...But I did find a little time to stitch a couple of thing for TDIPT for the 15 Th of May...
 First is my Liberty Bag....I just love to stitch flags this time of year....My design is adapted from a Stacy Nash design

 

Next is my  Peacock farm Pillow this is one of my designs...Like I told you in my last post I can't seem to put down my punch needle...I have three more designs I am working on...Punch needle is so easy to take with me when I am out and about it fills all the extra little minute I have watching swimming lessons or waiting to pick up the grand-kids..

Last  is a sampler pillow I designed for a wonder person I met out there in blog land...I have to say this is my favorite thing to do...I love to personalize my stitching...My friend loves strawberries, her daughter loves sunflowers, her son loves to fish and the little birds are for her husband...She as a dog she love and a very dear cat the has passed away....She also love the color red ...

That is about it for me...I have to get back outside before the rain comes back...I need to get all my plant planted because they will love it when the rain is back and I never complain that it is to green in Western Washington...


Thanks so much for all your kind comments they make my day...

My Needle Work Passion For Today....

I don't know about you but I go through phases.....Some time all I want to do is cross stitch sometimes all I want to do is applique...But right now I am hooked on punch needle...The house is a design from Not forgotten Farms and the vase of flowers is a design from Maggie Bonanomi... I usually punch with three strands of floss but I did both of these pictures with a medium size needle and six strands of floss, I have to say that I love it....I also love the colors of these pictures I think they are so summery...I have a couple more design I am working on with six strand of floss, but there weren't finished for this post...These two picture I am listing on Early Work Mercantile tonight....If you have the time I would love it if you could stop by....


Well, I am off to punch a little more before my family wants to eat dinner..
I hope you have all the time you need for what ever hand work is your passion right now...


Thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind comments they make my day,

Sun Shine....

Good Morning....I hate to always be the weather man for the pacific north west.....But today we have sun shine.....Not a cloud in the sky....Yahoooo for me.....I have been working in my yard all week and it is starting to come around....I must say I love having dirt in my finger nails...Next comes may favorite part of yard work I get to plant flowers...It is still a little cold for that, but the fun will soon be here...




In between digging I did manage to stitch (I washed my hands first...LOL)....I just love this design it is from Stacy Nash...



Also a little wool applique....I just love red ticking and geraniums....



Last is a strawberry from Black bird design....

My Favorite Things About Spring...

Hello Blog Land....I am posting a few of the thing I have been working on for Early Work Mercantile which will be on the site tonight....Spring always makes me think of Strawberries,,,


Robins, Tulips,,,



Rabbits,,,
More rabbits,,,
And even more rabbits...
I have been stitching and sewing like crazy just waiting for it to be nice enough to work in my yard...With spring in the pacific north west we always have our fair share of rain so it is always beautiful and green but sometimes really muddy....I will just have to wait for a dry day, then weeds here I come....But while I am waiting my daffodils are beautiful and my tulips are on their
way up...I'm hoping you have lots and lots of sunshine....Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments they make my day...

Is Spring Every Coming ???

Hello Blog land....The sun is shining and my daffodils are blooming....I really wish that was so....But sad to say it isn't....But the good news is I have had time to stay in where it is warm to stitch and sew....So my life doesn't get much better than that....
I have posted a few of the things I have been working on for TDIPT birthday celebration tonight..
My spring sampler I adapted from a BBD design..




My strawberry is also adapted from a BBD design....I just love when they come out with new designs...
In a perfect world I would have the time to stitch every thing they design...



Last is my spring chicken she is adapted from a Ravens Heaven design...
That is about all I have for today.....I am on my way back to my sewing room to work on a chair mat for a great friend I meet out there in blog land....Yahooo for me!!!!

Hoping For Spring...

I really hate to start my new post by complaining about the weather......But, here in the pacific northwest it has been SUPER CRUMMY....The good new is it has given me time to sew so I guess it isn't as bad as I think....I would really like to look out my sewing room window and see just a little sunshine...I will keep me fingers crossed maybe we will get a few sun breaks tomorrow...

Here are a few of the spring projects I have been working on for Early Work Mercantile tonight...
I love rabbits, eggs and spring colors they are just about as good as sunshine...





I have a couple more hours that I can sew before my family will want dinner....I'm off to enjoy my sewing room a little longer....
Thanks so much for stopping by your kind comments make my day!!!!
I'm hoping you are enjoying tons of sunshine today...
Take care,
