POSTCARD for another trade.
This time I tried to do some crazypatch.... Well it nearly drove ME crazy!
I really gotta practice more. I forgot to use some lace , maybe that would have made it better.....sigh!
Never mind I will practice and do better..... I will!




PUNCHNEEDLE EMBROIDERY
This was my first attempt at this art. I see in the big picture there are a few mistakes but HEY! it was my first attempt;-} With practice I will improve(Hopefully! ha)I am already working on a "Sheep" and I hope to be better....stay tuned.






I LOVE TRADITIONAL RUG HOOKING!
I am jus a beginner but here
are the first two I have done.Both need to be bound so I can hang them up. The little guy holding the pumpkin was a pattern from the October issue of Rug Hooking Magazine.. Isn't he cute!!! The second one is called"The Washing of The Quilts" and was a complete kit I bought from
Deanne Fitzpatrick, a well known hooker from Nova Scotia Canada ..Her work is awesome. Hope you enjoyed seeing them. I have another ready to go but got sidetracked with a needlepunching project... I will show you that next time.
PS... after looking at my "Washing of The Quilts" I see I missed a wee bit....will fix that right now!!!

NEW CHALLENGE...
This was a trade with a group I belong to called Postcard Mail Art .
The theme was to do a Faberge Egg. This was my interpretation. The base is all silks and gold trim along with a varieties of ""Jewels". It was a fun project and I might do some more.... Must feed the addiction !

MY FAVORITE THINGS....

I just loved this lamp the first time I saw it....I had to have it!!! You know what I mean?!?It is porcelaine and the colors are much prettier in person.. I collect miniature tea sevices.... Are these sweet or what!!! I forgot t photograph the little white set, and look at the wee tiny silverplated one...Isn't it the tiniest?!?! My Mom collected lilly of the valley china cups and saucers, this was the miniature one... What a little treasure.
Thought you might like to see them.

BIG MYSTERY

Hi Everyone, When I went to do some visiting to-day I noticed I have lost some followers as well as a whole lot of readers(70). I don't know why, since it seems to be a large number of readers... Does anyone have the answer..... Would appreciate any ideas. I tried to contact feedblitz but I could not find any contact address.
Thanks
xoxo
((((hugs))))
