BEEutiful Birthday gift received

Today brought a birthday gift from one of my dearest friends. Sweet Julianne made me the most gorgeous thread pallet. It is beautifully stitched and finished. I will cherish it always my friend :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart.


And another gift arrived as well. My sweet daughter ordered these two wonderful charts to go with the other gift she gave me and they arrived today :)

And I started another punch needle. This is my progress. It is being worked in variegated fibers-you can't tell here-but hopefully when I am finished I can get a good picture of it. When I finish the design, I want to finish it off as a pillow.
I am hoping soon I can get some REAL punch needle kits.



Thank you so much for visiting. Please do come again.
Happy Weekend!!
hugs and love from SC,
BeckySC

All of your pictures are just lovely as usual. I especially love your bunny pictures. I have been fighting the urge to try my hand at punch needle, but your pictures make me want to follow my heart and give it a go.

I'm trying to teach myself punch needle - I guess it's going ok. Takes some getting used to, lol! Yours look fantastic!

You know, I tried punch needle a few years ago. Just couldn't get into it. Your pieces are turning out nicely though.

What a beautiful gift from Julianne, the backstitched bees are very clever.
More super charts from your daughter, bet you can't wait to start them!!
And the bunny is gorgeous, you seem to be as quick with the punch needle as you are cross stitching!!! Is it quick to do??
Love to you
