WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING??






what I'm always doing...working!!! I haven't done any punching for a long time. The pony was my start again,this piece is my 2nd and I have a 3rd on the frame. I think the pony took me longer to do than to hook a rug!!! My hand has a mind of it's own and tends to jump at the most inconvenient moments. Well too bad for you right hand cause I'm gonna keep punching and your just going to have to accept it and behave yourself!!!!
So here's my latest windowsill rugs. One being soft neutral colors and the other in blues. Ya know they don't have to just go on a windowsill,I think they'd look neat on an old cupboard shelf too. They're 4 1/2" X 16" and $75.00 + shipping each.
The coxcomb needle punch cupboard hanger I did from a drawing by Lori Rippey for our Primitive Rug Hooking Group Booklet. I think this one was from 2009. Each member of the group contibuted a doodle drawing that we could use in any medium that we chose. The background on this hanger I punched in 2 shades of brown floss,which gave it a rich chocolate look. OHHH chocolate that sounds really good!!! Guess I'm getting hungry,back to the cupboard hanger LOL!! I used a tan handspun wool to stitch all around the edge and for the hanger. The NP measures 4" X 7" with the hanger,11 1/2". $46.00 + FREE Shipping to the US.
