I just finished Little House Needleworks’ Berries collaboration kit today. I substituted our last name for the word Berries and yes, I left the leaves off at the bottom because the right one was going to run into the “g.” This seems like it would be a cheerful little banner or pillow for our home.
What else? Well, yesterday saw the start and finish of another Petite Purse kit from Mill Hill, this time in royal blue and silver. It’s up for grabs, for whomever wants it.
And last, from my last night in the stitching lounge (Friday night) at CATS, my first punch needle finish. It’s supposed to be a star, a moon and a sheep. The sheep isn’t well-defined and neither is the star, even though I punched along the guidelines perfectly (the back proves my point). I need more practice with this new-to-me needlecraft.
I have some blank weaver’s cloth, thanks to Sandie asking a local shop owner who was also a vendor at CATS to bring some for me. I will be able to draw my own designs. Maybe I’ll get good enough to sell designs someday? It really is a fast and fun little hobby, once you get into it. 😉
I like how you did your berries piece with your last name. Very pretty and will make a neat banner or pillow. Cute little purse, I have tried punch needle-it just hasn’t caught me. Still a great first try!
Lovely finish, Jenna. I love that kit from LHN.
I love that purse, please can I have it?
You are so clever!
Still do explain, what is punchneedle exactly? it looks like tiny rug making!
Is LHN Berries a kit with silk (- I don’t like silk!)? As the house could be adapted to be my house.
Though the sheep and star may not show up perfectly well-defined on the front side, it’s obvious what they are and I do really like the overall effect. I think it’s an excellent first attempt. I’ve been curious about punchneedle, but floss here is so prohibitively expensive that I’ve held off. 😉
Your other finishes are also adorable. Love how you personalized the LHN!
The LHN finish is lovely and I love the idea of putting your name in there…how sweet!
Another beautiful wee purse 🙂
And punchneedle is somthing that I think is gorgeous! Great first project!
Love how you finished Berries with your name. The punchneedle looks great too – glad you are enjoying it!
Oh! I have had my eye on punchneedle since seeing a demonstration at AC Moore. Oh and awesome finishes!!!!!
Your punchneedle looks great, lovely little purse. Berries looks wonderful with your surname on it and bound to look great as a pillow.
What a beautiful little purse. Shame I’ve not been reading blogs lately to put my name down when you’d made it.
Love your other finishes.
Really like the LHN piece. Congrats on all your finishes. Good job! 🙂
