Punch Needle Embroidery
I've been working on several projects...
I always feel such a push when the
weather begins to show signs of Spring...
especially when we turn the clocks ahead.
It's like an alarm clock goes off,
inside my head...
"Hurry, hurry, finish that last project."
There was a time when I
didn't sew at all over the summer.
Not sure why, maybe just too busy
lounging outside, (I am guilty of laying in
the hammock for an hour or two,
watching the clouds drift by!).
But, the days of taking the summer 'off' from
stitching, are no more. I now enjoy creating and
experimenting, whatever the season.
I cannot even imagine not spending at least
a small amount of time pondering the day,
with some sort of punching, stitching
or hooking in my hand.

stitch over the summer (warmer) months ?? ~ ~

The punch needle project in my hoop at the moment
uses deep, rich Valdani colors...
in Old Brick and one of my favorites...
Turkey Red.
And, I love all the different green shades that
appear from just one ball of Valdani M19 !
Every leaf has it's own unique shading,
without me having to change threads.
M19, Olives, does all the work for me !
Only a Mama's love !
Last week, during a snowstorm,
I watched the live webcam of the
Bald Eagle's nest. Wow, what dedication.
She never once left the eggs in the nest,
as I watched in amazement, as she slowly
became buried in snow.
Only a Mom !
'Hope' in a single crocus blossom !
Hoping for sunny skies and warm breezes
to arrive, (and stay)...
