LAST OF THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

Deadlines are looming and I'm in denial.  Actually I've got everything done but the paperwork.  The worst part for me, but the end is in site so I decided I'd play a little with Kathy Brown's Morie Tweedy Wool for a couple of pups.   Love the look, I combined it with Valdani's P1 Old Brick for their red collars.  Keep on punchin.

WHO LET THE CAT OUT

Who Let The Cat Out is one of the many designs that I've been reviewing.  It's a big job slugging through over 200 designs updating the patterns with new photography and covers.  In some cases the models need to be punched with new colors, framed, mounted on paddles or made into pillows.  Plus new designs are being drawn up!  Keep on punchin.

APPLE BASKET

Apple, pies, tarts, & dumplings...YUM YUM YUm.  They all start with a basket of perfect apples.  I always think of August as the Dog Days of Summer...so I like to pay homage to those lovable beasts. They are on my frame.  The Cats independant as ever have moved on to Fall.  Tubs is taking center stage surrounded by Pumpkins & Stars.  Keep on punchin.

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

By The Light of the Moon...I've been busy updating some patterns, new models for others, and just trying to keep up.  Keep on punchin.

AUGUST BONNET GIRL

This AUGUST BONNET GIRL is one of my favorite,  a little nudie fishing under a starry sky!
It's that time of year to gear up for the fall shows & events.  I can't wait.  It's my favorite time of year. But first, I'm going to the dogs with a couple of new designs plus I'm starting to punch WISE GUY, a fully punched stand up version of WISE OLD OWL...I have a little confession to make...I've always wanted to make jointed mohair Teddy Bears...even before Boyds hit the market.  I put that dream away for a while, but it surfaced after I bought a little Lotus sewing machine and watched a tutorial on how to make the very bear I've been longing to make.  Yes, I've ordered all the supplies and plan  to start sewing up and (punching up) a few Beasts.  In the mean time keep on punchin.
