Frosty Lavendar & Winter Punching

It has been a very cold start to Winter here.  It sounds like just about everyone in the upper US has been freezing for a few months now.  We have been very cold -- single digits to the low teens every night -- without much snow.  There is only about 2 inches of the white stuff on the ground now when there should be 2 feet.  It is still beautiful in different ways.

One of my dear sisters let me know that I have been neglecting this blog.  She doesn't live near, so she checks here to see what I have been up to.  To look at my blog, you would think that I haven't been doing much of anything... but that would not be true.

I am deep into dreaming up and creating punchneedle pieces.  As I have mentioned before, I truly adore tiny, tiny things.  All these little thread punches -- thousands of them -- just make me happy.  I made an assortment of pieces for the Holiday season and I thought I would share some of them with you -- and with my sister, of course.

Teeny, tiny snowshoes

Tiny, Tiny Snowshoes

 Just another punchneedle work, complete with miniature footwear.

This time we have a snowshoe hare wearing snowshoes and a wee pair of handmade snowshoes.

It is still very much Winter here.  The temperatures have been in the low single digits in the morning and staying below 20 during the day.  

Brrr....

Wheee....

 Oh My!  It has been a long time since my last post.

I seem to think that everyone else has so much more of interest to share than I do. I visit many creative blogs.

BUT, blogging is not a contest of who can do it best (is it?).  

So, for those of you who might check my blog to see what I have been doing, I apologize for the long absence.

Here is a peek at what I have been creating lately. 

 I have become completely smitten with punch needle work.

It doesn't surprise me that I am charmed by this needlework.  It involves thousands of tiny little punches of thread to create an image.

One thing I do know about myself is that I am someone who likes to work small.  Something about miniature, wee little creations makes my heart sing.

So, this is my latest.  It is 9" tall in total.  The punch needle work is 5.25" x 4" and the tiny lttle wool ice skates are 2" x 1.5"

Like I said, "Wheee...."

Here Comes Halloween!

I am so happy to be working on Halloween art!  Halloween is by far my favorite.

This is my first piece for 2012.

All completely handmade by me and my boneylittlefingers (my eBay seller id), Mr Crow is standing on a needle punched tombstone and holding a tiny JOL treat bucket.

I will be listing him on eBay soon... if I can bear to part with him!

Happy Halloween, so far!
