Sneak preview...

Of my new punch needle designs...

 

This one is called Dove of Hope, inspired by the new and exciting time for my country.

 

 

This one is called Happy Campers and was inspired by my sister who loves camping.

Just starting a new project....

I bought some patterns fro Lori at Not Forgotten Farm and this is a free hand cross stitch pattern I am working on an antimacassar I bought from a charity shop. I bought 3 of them they weren't a set so they weren't usable in the traditional sense so I thought I'd use them for cross stitch and embroidery. The other 2 I have tea dyed, see my earlier post here.

 

 

This shows the fabric as being lighter in colour than it actually is

This is closer

i'll share with you when it is completed.

Works in progress

I thought I'd share some works on progress with you...

 

Frames for the Starfish

 

These frames are at the stage before I sand and buff them, add the hanger and finally the Starfish.

 

 

Breadboards ready for up cycling

another breadboard for up cycling, I just forgot to take the before pic!

I purchased these breadboards from the Air Ambulance charity shop in town. The large oval one has been well used and will give such a fab rustic finish to my sign. That's right these boards will become signs, they are perfect for them. The smaller board was probably a cheese board as there is a cut out section for the knife so I have to use the back for my sign.

The below photo's show the boards with their first coat of base colour.

 

The teardrop shape and small oval boards needed 3 coats but the large oval just needed the 2.

They have now received 2 coats of top colour moonlight white.

 

Do pop back in a few days for the next stage on these projects.
