WHERE HAS THE BLOGGER GONE?

It was a fabulous Spring Folk Art Show ...However I picked up a terrible cold and finally on Thursday I realized I simply had to crawl in bed take aspirin, drink lots of juice, tea and get some SLEEP.  So the dogs and I took to the mattresses.  I'm  up today feeling a little better, but taking it slow.  Plan to be back in action by Wednesday.  Keep on punchin.

My first project was a little penny Rug kit (Blue Bird) from Primitive Gatherings, then the (Crow and Star) Pincushion  also from Primitive Gatherings.  Venturing out on my own, I designed the WOOLIE PUMPKIN PIN CUSHION.  It will be the make and take project to my University Day Class.  With the Spring Folk Art Show in St. Charles this month, it's time to...Keep on punchin.
