ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE

A basket here, a pantry box there...things are beginning to fill up with bits and pieces of Christmas. The new kid on the block is the Christmas Reindeer . He is punched in Valdani's 3 strand hand over dyed embroidery floss to resemble spatterware. You could pin him on a coat, hang him on a tree or tuck him in with your favorite holiday greenery! The finished pins can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/thecooperscottage. Pattern and thread kit available upon request. There's more to come, stay tuned! Keep on stitchin.

LATE FALL IN DOR COUNTY

I love going up to Washington Island in early spring and late fall. It's a great place to get a lot of stitchin done (and I did.) Home now and putting the finishing touchs on Christmas pins so stay tuned. I couldn't resist snapping a photo of this old blue Chevy. It always has joy riders and this year it's Dorothy and her pals! Keep on stitchin.

BEDTIME

I had to post this, it reminds me of a Charley Brown cartoon where Snoopy is sleeping with Charley and he's all over him and the bed. The caption reads something like "Love is having a dog" or in my case 2 dogs. I swear these two like to watch me breath! I hope to have a couple of Holiday punchneedle designs done next week. Stay tuned and keep on punchin!
