HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT!

I'm punching up this tongue and cheek Valentine showing a handsome suitor in the middle of two maidens.  The border is made up of birds and fancy flowers.  I haven't decided what colors to use for the background and border.  Have a safe New Year's Eve and a Happy New Year.  Keep on Punchin.

BOXING DAY

I'll be not only boxing, but wrestling with the dirty pots and pans left to soak overnight!  Then I'll be making up a little ice cream base using coconut milk, and Michigan Cherrys to try out our Zoku Ice cream maker Bowls.  One half of the bowl is in the freezer, the other half is in the right front corner of the photo.  You put the bowls together, add the chilled base, stir and scrap down the sides.  Wa La
Ice Cream.!  Add your favorite toppings and eat it right out of the bowl!  I'm so glad Santa shops at William Sonoma!  I'll be in my studio tomorrow.  Keep on punchin.

FESTIVE FRIDAY

Last night was the last Festive Friday in downtown Cedarburg before Christmas.  I was invited to punch and munch at the Cedarburg Art Museum, a beautiful Victorian completely restored Home built around 1898.  It is one more treasure in our Downtown.  The current exhibit is the Doors of Cedarburg.  Not to missed.  Keep on punchin.

HOLIDAY HOUSE

Outside the Cooperage Door is decked out with one of my homemade wreaths.  Inside it's a cookie factory!  With all the shows over, I've got a little time to bake.  These thumb cookies are made with almond flour.  The recipe is on the King Arthur Flour website.  Check out the old red wooden tray!  It's a little Christmas present to myself from Pineberry Lane.  Wendy not only designs charming cross stitch, but has flea market finds on her website and there is always something there I want!  New designs coming soon.  Keep on punchin.

CHRISTMAS PAST

While digging around in my closet, I came across this box filled with memories from Christmases  past.  Of course, I totally forgot what I was looking for, sat down with a cup of tea and went through the box picking up each item and remembering where and when it was added to my collection.  What fun to play hooky for an afternoon and take a stroll down memory lane.  It's time to get moving the show is only two days away and there's work to be done.  Keep on punchin.
