CHICKIE BABIES







I couldn't help but punch up these chickie boxes. One has a blue background, and the other a brown one. The boxes were handpainted black, and brown respectively. They are 2" high, 3" in diameter. The boxes will hold a little stash of jelly beans and a whole lot of dreams . Finished boxes and patterns will be available on my etsy shop on Monday. Keep on punching.

HOME CHICKIE



Mother Nature and I both seem to be rushing Spring ... Usually in February, there's a couple of snowmen hanging around my studio, but not this year. There's bunnies, chicks, flowers and sheep! The floor is scattered with seed packages waiting to be started. HOME CHICKIE pillow and the punchneedle pattern will be up on my etsy shop early next week. Keep on punching.
